Michael Franks:Soul Mate

I know whereof I speak
Believe me
When it comes to the subject
Of loneliness look it up you'll see
There is a picture of me

But that's ancient history now
Completely
Now when it comes to the subject
Of happiness I'm the man to see
And my advice in summary:

Look for a soul mate
Someone whose love will go the Distance
Stop collecting only temporary hearts
Just find a soul mate
And then let go of your resistance
You'll live happy ever after from the start

You need a soul mate
Before your house of cards collapses
Whose devotion's like a candle in the night
Locate a soul mate
To help you navigate the rapids
That rise up along the river of your life

It's you or do my eyes deceive me?
Like divine intervention
You gave your heart to me for keeps
I knew I was in deep

This feeling I have it never leaves me
What a perfect invention
Love is. It soothes the savage beast
These words of wisdom I repeat:
