Someone Like You
The Fountainhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touch what you see
And I'll pray it'll happen to me
Listen to your radio
And try to remember how it used to be

I'm looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you
Imagine just how it could feel
Someone like you, someone like me
You've got to reach out and call my name
Got to tell me that it's still the same

I'm looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you
I'm still looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you

Round and round I'll go
Just looking for a perfect world
Running around every town living it up
You've got to listen to your radio
And try to remember how it used to be

I'm looking for someone like you
I'm still looking for someone like you




I'm looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you

Always loved this song, the minute I heard it from the underground soundtracks in the 80s.

Gracias a los avances tecnológicos que incluyen a YouTube y otras plataformas podemos volver a escuchar a mi entender unos de los mejores temas que sonaron en mi vida. De finales de los 80 y que ya es inmortal. Gracias por subirlo y permitir transportarnos a esa etapa inolvidable de la música.
