Lyrics

I know why I've waited
I know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you
Why should we spend money
On a show or two
When no one sings those love songs
Exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I wanna hand the world to you
You make me understand
Each foolish little dream I'm dreamin'
Scheme I'm schemin
Now I know why mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you
I know why I've waited
I know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you
Why should we spend money
On a show or two
When no one sings those love songs
Exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I wanna hand the world to you
You make me understand
Each foolish little dream I'm dreamin'
Scheme I'm schemin
Now I know why mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you
