Discovering True Love: A Journey Through 'Exactly Like You' Lyrics
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 figment of imagination
A wonderful vision of us as a team
An imaginative vision of a perfect relationship
Can you imagine how I feel now
Expressing the emotional impact of the current reality
Love is real now, it's ideal
Love is now genuine and matches the idealized vision
You're just what I wanted
Referring to the current romantic partner
And now it's nice to live
Life is enjoyable with the present partner
Paradise to live
Describing life with the partner as paradise
I know why I've waited
Awareness of the reasons for waiting
Know why I've been blue
Understanding the source of previous sadness
Prayed each night for someone
Expressing nightly prayers for a specific type of person
Exactly like you
Desiring someone exactly like the listener
Why should we spend money
Questioning the need to spend money on entertainment
On a show or two
Challenging the uniqueness of love scenes elsewhere
No one does those love scenes
Desiring love scenes that precisely match the listener's
Exactly like you
Reiteration of the desire for a love like the listener's
You make me feel so grand
Expressing admiration and elevated feelings
I want to hand the world to you
Wishing to give the world to the romantic partner
I hope you'll understand
Hoping for the partner's understanding
Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'
Acknowledging personal dreams and schemes
And dream I'm dreamin'
Highlighting imaginative and romantic thoughts
Now I know why mother
Understanding the mother's advice to be truthful
Taught me to be true
Realizing that being true is meant for finding someone special
She meant me for someone
Understanding the intended match by the mother
Exactly like you
Desiring a partner exactly like the listener
