Exactly Like You lyrics

I used to have a perfect sweetheart,

Not a real one, just a dream,

A wonderful vision of us as a team.

Can you imagine how I feel now?

Love is real now, it's ideal.

You're just what I wanted,

And now it's nice to live, paradise to live.

I know why I've waited,

Know why I've been blue,

Prayin' each night for someone

Exactly like you.

Why should we spend some money

On a show or two?

Oh, no one does those love scenes

Exactly like you.

You make me feel so grand

I want to hand the world to you.

You seem to understand

Each foolish little scheme I'm scheming,

Dream I'm dreaming.

Now I know why mother

Taught me to be true,

She meant me for someone

Exactly like you.

I know why I've waited,

Know why I've been blue,

Prayed each night for someone

Exactly like you.

Why should we spend some money

On a show or two?

No one does those love themes

Exactly like you.

You make me feel so grand

I want to hand the world to you.

You seem to understand

Each foolish little scheme I'm scheming,

Dream I'm dreaming.

I know why my mama

Taught me to be true

She meant me for someone

Exactly like you.
