Analysis of That soul I can't have
Ofentse Masela 2009 (Rustenburg)
To the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen
My heart skips a beat whenever I saw you
You're the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen
Your face reminds me of a beautiful girl I'd once knew
Your claim spirit reminds me of the ocean
Strong and claim it is
Your heart is as kind as your soul
Always helping those indeed
Young and old they maybe
Courageous and smart you are
You and I are like water and oil
Fire and ice
Two souls from separate worlds
But our hearts will always be together
No matter who you are
No matter what you are
You will always held a special place in my heart
You will always be a very special person to me
No matter where you are
No matter who you're with
I'll always you
