Hey Soul Sister, you Bestill My Heart

Lyrics to 2 of my absolute favorite "love" songs.  They don't meet the standard criteria of love songs.  They are slow and romantic.  They tell about things most love songs aren't really about.  It's about the little quirky things.  I  don't know about most people, but for me, it's about the quirky, odd eccentricities that make someone who they are.  That's what makes me fall in love with someone.  Not money, beauty, composure, or even things that they own. I couldn't care less about your house or apartment.  I don't care if you have the latest fashion trends in your closet.  I'm not falling in love with your clothes, home or car. I'm falling in love with you.  The you that only I can see.  The one who uses the word cute all the time, who ought to buy a thesaurus because you can only think of "A" words to describe me (i.e. awesome, amazing, adorable...lol) :) I'm falling head over heels for the you who is freakishly passionate about a TV show.  The you who loves the little things.  The you who makes me feel more special and important than I've ever felt before.  Not with gifts or dinners, but with attention. The way you brush my hair out of my eyes (which, inevitably falls right back into position), the way you caress my cheek with the lightest touch, as though I'm a porcelain doll.  That's what makes me fall.....


"Hey, Soul Sister"

Heeey heeeey heeeeey

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moving
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Heeey heeeey heeeey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind le me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Well you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I cant be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight) 







"Be Still My Heart"

I was running late for work
So I didn't change my shirt
The evening's drinks left a lingering taste in my mouth
And when I left
You were fast asleep
Tangled in the sheets
And on the bus I could have sworn it was all a dream
And it didn't happen to me

And then I felt the scrapes
From the slippery subway grate.
Oh how you laughed
At my complete lack of grace.
But I could not recall
A more perfect fall
Cause when I looked up into your eyes
It didn't hurt at all.

And I thought, be still my heart
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear
If I wake up and you're still here with me in the morning.

And I thought, be still my heart
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear
If I wake up and you're still here with me in the morning.
