I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
I prayed each night for someone exactly like you
Oh, why should we spend money
On a show or two
As no one plays those love scenes exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I want to have the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme
I'm scheming of the dream I'm dreaming
I know why my mother
She 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
I prayed each night for someone exactly like you
Ooh, why should we spend money
On a show or two?
'Cause no one does those love scenes exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I want to have the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little dream
I'm dreaming and the scheme I'm scheming
Now I know why mother
She taught me to be true
She meant me for someone exactly like you
