Exactly Like You

Today I am going to write about a song performed by Nina Simone. Its name is Exactly Like You. I do not know if it was one of Nina's most famous songs, but I do love listening to it, especially when I am in love with someone.

In Exactly Like You, Nina states that all she most wanted was a person to love and, now that she found this person, it is time to do everything for him.

Exactly Like You Dorothy Fields, Jimmy MacHugh - 1930 (performed by: Nina Simone)

I know why I waited Know why I've been blue I've been waiting each day For someone exactly like you Why should I spend some money On a show or two When nobody sings these love songs Exactly like you You make me feel so grand I wanna give this world to you You make me understand These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming And schemes I'm scheming Now I know why my mama She taught me to be true She knew just around the corner Was somebody like you You make me feel so grand I wanna give this world to you Baby you make me understand These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming And schemes I'm scheming Now I know why my mama She taught me to be true She knew just around the corner Yes she knew just around the corner Was somebody like you

Anyway, all I want to do is to play this song, and to give the world to someone very special. It is a song that proves that the jazz was also made to express love and affection towards a person.
