I've been searching a long time Someone exactly like you I've been traveling all around the world Waiting for you to come through Someone like you makes it all worth while Someone like you keeps me satisfied Someone exactly like you I've been travelin' a hard road Baby, lookin' for someone exactly like you I've been carryin' my heavy load Waiting for the light to come shining through Someone like you makes it all worth while Someone like you keeps me satisfied Someone exactly like you I've been doin' some soul searching To find out where you're at I've been up and down the highway In all kinds of foreign lands Someone like you makes it all worth while Someone like you keeps me satisfied Someone exactly like you I've been all around the world Marching to the beat of a different drum But just lately I have realized Maybe the best is yet to come Someone like you makes it all worth while Someone like you keeps me satisfied Someone exactly like you Someone exactly like you Someone exactly like you
