Discovering True Love: Exactly Like You
Lyrics
I used to have a perfect sweetheart
I used to have an idealized romantic partner
Not a real one, just a dream
Not a real person, but a fantasy or aspiration
A wonderful vision of us as a team
Imagining a wonderful future together as a united team
Can you imagine how I feel now
Reflecting on the emotional impact of the current situation
Love is real now, it's ideal
Love has become real and ideal, fulfilling expectations
You're just what I wanted
Expressing contentment that the current partner is what was desired
And now it's nice to live
Enjoying life with the current partner
Paradise to live
Referring to the current state as a metaphorical paradise
I know why I've waited
Understanding the reasons for waiting
Know why I've been blue
Acknowledging past feelings of sadness
Prayed each night for someone
Expressing nightly prayers for a partner just like the current one
Exactly like you
Affirming the resemblance of the current partner to the desired one
Why should we spend money
Questioning the necessity of spending money on entertainment
On a show or two
Contemplating the uniqueness of their love, making shows unnecessary
No one does those love scenes
No one can replicate the love scenes experienced with the current partner
Exactly like you
Reiterating the uniqueness of the current partner
You make me feel so grand
Feeling elevated and wanting to give the world to the partner
I want to hand the world to you
Expressing a hope for the partner to understand the depth of feelings
I hope you'll understand
Recognizing and explaining personal dreams and schemes
Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'
Emphasizing the sincerity of intentions, even if they seem foolish
And dream I'm dreamin'
Alluding to dreams and aspirations
Now I know why mother
Understanding the mother's teachings on being truthful in relationships
Taught me to be true
Realizing that the advice was meant for finding a partner like the current one
She meant me for someone
Concluding that the mother intended the speaker to find someone like the current partner
Exactly like you
Affirming the resemblance between the ideal partner and the current one
