Someone Like You
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La di, la da, di da, hmm
Turns right into wrong
Brightens the night
Brings happiness to me

Makes me luckier
Than throwin' a seven
Takes me nearer to heaven
Than anyone's allowed to do

When your heart is talkin'
I feel like I'm walkin'
On a cloud
With someone like you

Someday I'll find
Someone I can boast to
Somebody to hug, a bug in a rug
To snuggle up close to

And whenever I do
Do you know the who
Who I'll give the most to?

You prey on my mind
Stay till I find
Someone like you

Someday I'll find
Someone I can boast to
Somebody to hug, well a bug in a rug
To snuggle up close to

And whenever I do
Do you know the who
Who I'll give the most to?

You prey on my mind




Stay till I find
Someone like you
