"Exactly Like You" Lyrics
![]()
Lyrics by: Dorothy Fields
Music by: Jimmy McHugh
From Lew Leslie's Broadway show, International Revue (1930)
I know why I 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 wanna 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
Exactly like you
Exactly like you
