[Intro]
I know why I've waited
I know why I've been blue, yeah
Because I've been waiting here for somebody, baby
Ah, yeah, exactly like you
Uh-huh
[Verse 1]
Why should we spend all of our money
On a show or two
When nobody makes those love scenes, honey
Ah, exactly like you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you make me feel so grand
I want to give this world to you
And you make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming, yeah
[Chorus]
I know why my daddy
Taught me to be true, yeah
Because he was keeping me here for somebody, somebody, somebody
Exactly like you
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Oh, exactly, ah baby
Like you
Exactly like you
Nobody, nobody, nobody but you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Exactly, exactly, exactly, oh, like you
Oh baby
Somebody, somebody
I know why I've waited
I know why I've been blue, yeah
Because I've been waiting here for somebody, baby
Ah, yeah, exactly like you
Uh-huh
[Verse 1]
Why should we spend all of our money
On a show or two
When nobody makes those love scenes, honey
Ah, exactly like you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you make me feel so grand
I want to give this world to you
And you make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming, yeah

I know why my daddy
Taught me to be true, yeah
Because he was keeping me here for somebody, somebody, somebody
Exactly like you
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Oh, exactly, ah baby
Like you
Exactly like you
Nobody, nobody, nobody but you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Exactly, exactly, exactly, oh, like you
Oh baby
