| Song | A Theory (Album Version) |
| Artist | Tracy Chapman |
| Album | Our Bright Future |
| [00:32.470] | It’s just a theory |
| [00:35.769] | There’s a possibility I am wrong |
| [00:43.679] | It’s just a theory |
| [00:46.199] | But I would stake my life |
| [00:49.599] | Lay my money down |
| [00:54.549] | That you were meant for me |
| [00:57.609] | And for you I’m the one |
| [01:01.919] | |
| [01:04.108] | It’s just a theory |
| [01:07.189] | A particular set of assumptions |
| [01:14.799] | It’s just a theory |
| [01:17.959] | An educated guess |
| [01:20.399] | A conclusion not forgone |
| [01:25.209] | That you were meant for me |
| [01:29.590] | And for you I’m the one |
| [01:33.569] | |
| [01:36.348] | Oh nothing’s new under the sun |
| [01:39.679] | I will postulate |
| [01:42.789] | Ask for your consideration |
| [01:44.729] | Ask you out on a date |
| [01:47.209] | Although it can’t be sure |
| [01:49.799] | Why not act on a hunch |
| [01:52.229] | Oh why not search for proof |
| [01:55.149] | Why not go out for lunch |
| [01:57.459] | And in theory, I could propose |
| [02:03.599] | And in theory you could affirm |
| [02:07.329] | Oh that you were meant for me |
| [02:11.210] | And for you I’m the one |
| [02:18.500] | Oh that you were meant for me |
| [02:21.700] | And for you I’m the one |
| [02:26.470] | |
| [02:29.640] | It’s just a theory |
| [02:32.450] | A series of tests should be run. |
| [02:39.350] | It’s just a theory although not fully assessed |
| [02:45.460] | An idea whose time has come |
| [02:51.0] | That you were meant for me |
| [02:53.450] | And for you I’m the one |
| [03:00.660] | That you were meant for me |
| [03:04.200] | And for you I’m the one |
| [03:09.450] |
