I used to have a perfect sweetheart

Not a real one just a dream

A wonderful vision of us as a team

Can you imagine how I feel now

Love is real now it's ideal

You're just what I wanted

And now it's nice to live

Paradise to live

I know why I've waited

Know why I've been blue

Prayed each night for someone

Exactly like you

Why should we spend money

On a show or two

No one does those love scenes

Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand

I want to hand the world to you

You seem to understand

Each foolish little scheme I'm schemin'

Dream I'm dreamin'

Now I know why mother

Taught me to be true

She meant me for someone

Exactly like you

I know why I've waited

I know why I've been blue

Prayed each night for someone

Exactly like you

Why should we spend money

On a show or two

Oh

No one does those love scenes

Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand

I want to hand the world to you

You seem to understand

Every foolish little scheme I'm schemin'

Dream I'm dreamin'

Now I know why my mama

Taught me to be true

She meant me for someone

Exactly like you
