Tracy Chapman
A Theory
[Verse 1]
It's just a theory
There's a possibility I am wrong
It's just a theory
But I would stake my life
Lay my money down

[Chorus]
That you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one

[Verse 2]
It's just a theory
A particular set of assumptions
It's just a theory
An educated guess
A conclusion not forgone

[Chorus]
That you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one

[Bridge]
Oh nothing's new under the sun
But I will postulate
Ask for your consideration
Ask you out on a date
Although it can't be sure
Why not act on a hunch?
Oh why not search for proof?
Why not go out for lunch?
And in theory, I could propose
And in theory you could affirm
[Chorus]
Oh that you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one
Oh that you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one

[Verse 3]
It's just a theory
A series of tests should be run
It's just a theory although not fully assessed
An idea whose time has come

[Chorus]
That you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one

[Outro]
That you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one
