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

Why should we spend money
on a show or two?
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

I know why I've waited.
Know why I've been blue;
Prayed each night for someone...

Why should we spend money
on a show or two?
No one does those love scenes...

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...
