I used to have a perfect sweetheart,
Not a real one, just a dream,
A wonderful vision of us as a team.
Can you imagine how I feel now?
Love is real now, it's ideal.
You're just what I wanted,
And now it's nice to live, paradise to live.
I know why I've waited,
Know why I've been blue,
Prayin' each night for someone
Exactly like you.
Why should we spend some money
On a show or two?
Oh, no one does those love scenes
Exactly like you.
You make me feel so grand
I want to hand the world to you.
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm scheming,
Dream I'm dreaming.
Now I know why mother
Taught me to be true,
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you.
