EXACTLY LIKE YOU - LYRICS (Ella Fitzgeral version)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Music Jimmy McHugh
Lyrics by Dorothy Fields
Published in 1930


I know why I've waited
I know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone
Exactly like you
Why should we spend money
On a show or two?
For no one does those love scenes
Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little dream I'm dreaming
Scheme I'm scheming

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