Someone Like You
Bridget Jones' Diary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been travelling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through

Someone like you, you make it all worth while
Someone like you keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you

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

Someone like you, you make it all worth while
Someone like you, keep me satisfied
Just like you, baby

I've been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different drum
But just lately I have realized
Baby, the best is yet to come

Someone like you, you make it all worth while
Someone like you, keep me satisfied

Someone like you, you make it all worth while
Someone like you, keep me satisfied




Just like you, someone exactly like you
Someone
