Verse
I used to have a per-fect sweet-heart,
Not a real one, just a dream
A won-der-ful vis-ion of us as a team
Can you im-ag-ine how i feel now, love is real now, it's i-deal
You're just what i want-ed and now it's nice to live,
Par-a-dise to live:
Chorus
I know why i've wait-ed, know why i've been blue,
Prayed each night for some-one ex-act-ly like you
Why should we spend mon-ey on a show or two
No one does those love scenes ex-act-ly like you
You make me feel so grand i want to hand the world to you
You seem to un-der-stand each fool-ish lit-tle scheme i'm
Schem-ing dream i'm dream-ing, now i know why moth-er
Taught me to be true she meant me for some-one ex-act-ly like you
