Píseň: Exactly Like You

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
My Kind Of Blues
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
