A Theory Songtext
von Tracy Chapman

It′s just a theory
Ther's a possibility I am wrong
It′s just a theory
But I would stake my life
Lay my money down
That you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one

It's just a theory
A particular set of assumptions
It′s just a theory
An educated guess
A conclusion not forgone
That you were meant for me

And for you I′m the one


Oh nothing's new under the sun
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
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

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