Exactly Like You (1973 Satchmo Version) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know why I've waited
I know why I've been blue, yes
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you, yes
Now why should we spend money
On a show or two, babe?
No one does those love scenes
Exactly like you, yes

[Bridge]
You make me feel so grand, yes
I wanna give the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little dream I'm dreaming
Oh, I'm scheming

[Verse 2]
Now I know why my mother
And she taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you, sweet mama

[Instrumental Outro]
