Somebody Like Me
Skagarack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're kind of silent or mabye just shy
You're a mystery, all good news for me.
It took a while some drinks before I
Even had the guts to look you in the eyes.

I saw you right away you came in the room
If there's a secret let me know what to do

How can somebody like me find a girl like you,
Sneak into your dreams
But I will keep tryin' till you finally be mine
I don't care what it takes, this is make or break

You got me going and I can't stop now
Girl you're in my sights, please be mine tonight.
I wanna touch you for give me a clue
You're a mystery, let's make history

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell,
Is there a password to fulfil this spell.

How can somebody like me find a girl like you,
Sneak into your dreams
But I will keep tryin' till you finally be mine
I don't care what it takes, this is make or break

I don't need consolation
What I want comes straight from the heart.
And with your love medication
You can make me high

How can somebody like me find a girl like you,
Sneak into your dreams
Oh, I will keep tryin' till you finally be mine
I don't care what it takes, this is make or break

How can somebody like me find a girl like you,
Sneak into your dreams

Oh, I will keep tryin' till you finally be mine
I don't care what it takes, this is make or break
