I know why I waited

know why I've been blue

I've been praying for someone, baby

exactly like you

why should we spend money, on a show or two

while no one does those love scenes, baby

exactly like you

you make me feel so grand

I wanna give this world to you

you seem to understand

each foolish little dream I'm dreaming

and the schemes I'm scheming

now I know why mother taught me to be true

she meant me for someone, baby

exactly like you

just like you, baby, oh

just like you

mother meant me for someone exactly like you

I know why I waited

know why I been blue

I've been waiting for someone, baby

exactly like you

why should we spend money on a show or two

while no one does those love scenes, baby

exactly like you

you make me feel so grand

I wanna give this world to you

you seem to understand

each foolish little dream I'm dreaming

and the schemes I'm scheming

now I know why mother taught me to be true

she meant me for someone

exactly like you

just like you, baby, just like you

mother meant me for someone exactly like you

just like you, baby, pretty just like you

mother meant me for someone exactly like you
