Going along with the idea of a soulmate, where everyone feels there is one right person for themselves. To me, Ana Ng sounds like a foriegner (definitly, "her" name was in a Chinese phonebook, right?).

--Mr Tuck 19:00, 31 January 2006, Ana Ng (the most common Chinese name the Johns found in the Phone book when writing the song) is a woman on the exact opposite side of the world of the singer. While Ana Ng is definitely a love song, I think it's actually about a sort of love triangle. Only They Might Be Giants.
