Someone Like You
Luke Wade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This little girl she needs me
Since her mom went away
This bed's been cold without a woman
For me to hold and
I wish it wasn't this way
I know there's no replacing, but I'm here face to face with
I know it's what you wanted for me to move on
And find someone, someone like you
This came on without a warnin'
Now it's the mornin'
And I'm so glad that she stayed
I know we said forever
For worse or better
My feelings will never fade
I know there's no replacing, but I'm here face to face with
Somebody new
I know it's what you wanted for me to move on
And find someone, someone like you
Someone like, someone like, someone like you
Someone like, someone like, someone like you
God knows our daughter needs a woman
This is the moment
I've got to ask her to stay
Little girl is dressed in yellow
Dropping flower petals
Down the aisle my way
I know there's no replacing, but I'm here face to face with
Somebody new
I know it's what you wanted for me to move on
And find someone, someone like you
I know there's no replacing, but I'm here face to face with
Somebody new
I know it's what you wanted for me to move on
And find someone, someone like you
Someone like, someone like, someone like you
Someone like, someone like, someone like you
