"Exactly Like You" lyrics - CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT

I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you

Why do we spend money
On a show or two?
No one sings those love songs
Exactly like you

[Bridge:]
You make me feel so grand
I wanna hand the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'
Dream I'm dreamin'

I know why my mama
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
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you

Why do we spend good money
On a show or two?
No one sings those love songs
Exactly like you

[Bridge:]
You make me feel so grand
I wanna hand the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'
Dream I'm dreamin'

I know why my mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you

[Scatting]

I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you

Why do we spend money
On a show or two?
No one sings those love songs
Exactly like you

[Bridge:]
You make me feel so grand
I wanna hand the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'
Dream I'm dreamin'

I know why my mama
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you
