Discovering True Love: Unveiling the Meaning Behind '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 team
Can you imagine how I feel now
Expressing the emotional impact of the current situation
Love is real now, it's ideal
Love is now real and meets the ideal expectations
You're just what I wanted
Referring to the current partner as the desired one
And now it's nice to live
Expressing contentment with life now
Paradise to live
Highlighting that life is now like paradise
I know why I've waited
Understanding the reason for waiting
Know why I've been blue
Understanding the reason for feeling sad or down
Prayed each night for someone
Expressing a nightly prayer for a specific type of person
Exactly like you
Expressing the desire for a partner exactly like the prayed-for person
Why should we spend money
Raising a question about spending money on entertainment
On a show or two
Questioning the uniqueness of love scenes in shows
No one does those love scenes
Desiring love scenes that match the ideal
Exactly like you
Reiterating the desire for a love story exactly like the listener's
You make me feel so grand
Expressing a grand and positive feeling due to the partner
I want to hand the world to you
Expressing the desire to give the world to the partner
I hope you'll understand
Hoping for the partner's understanding
Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'
Admitting to foolish dreams and schemes for the partner
And dream I'm dreamin'
Acknowledging the dreams that involve the partner
Now I know why mother
Understanding the mother's teachings about being true to oneself
Taught me to be true
Recognizing the intended match for the speaker
She meant me for someone
Reflecting on the mother's intention for the speaker's ideal partner
Exactly like you
Reiterating the desire for a partner exactly like the envisioned one
