Someone Like You
Blank & Jones/Michael Francis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ive been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
Ive been traveling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. someone exactly

Like you.

Ive been travelin' a hard road
Lookin' for someone exactly like you
Ive been carryin' my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come
Shining through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. someone exactly
Like you.

Ive been doin' some soul searching
To find out where you're at
Ive been up and down the highway
In all kinds of foreign lands
Someone like you.

Ive been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different
Drum.
But just lately I have
Realized

The best is yet to come.
Someone like you.
