Soul Mistake

INXS · Shabooh Shoobah [1982]

Promises are carved out of lust

With a fire in the heart

That burns without regret

I vow to play the part



In this meeting of the soul

My feelings are unknown

I learn with no regret

I'm getting what I get



Feel some pain

Though I'm miles away

And ring to let you know

Are you seeing someone

I'd better let you go



She said this was a lesson in love

She said this was a love to end all loves

This soul never listens to me

This soul has a lot to learn



Honesty eludes one and all

Like a gypsy's search for gold

He's dreaming all the time

But the gold is hard to find



Promises are carved out of lust

With a fire in the heart

That burn's with no regret

I'm getting what I get



Made a mistake with myself

My lover couldn't lie

She told me of the things

That made her cry inside



She said this was a lesson in love

She said this was a love to end all loves

This soul never listens to me

This soul has a lot to learn



Having the dreams

of some gypsy
