Lyrics
Someone Like You
I've been with stars at organ recitals
I've dined with lords with questionable titles
I've been in the presence of many kings and queens
But I've never met somebody like you
I've travelled the world from pole to equator
I've spoken with head of states,dictators
I've charmed many millionaires with little or no means
But I've never met somebody like you
Chorus
You can talk all you want about power and fame
Or suck up to someone with a double barrelled name
But all of it wouldn't amount to a hill of beans
Unless I had someone like you
Verse
I've made a speech at the United Nations
And smoked peyote, feeling mild elation
I've met a Cree chief on his reservation
But I've never met somebody like you
Chorus
You can talk all you want about power and fame
Or suck up to someone with a double barrelled name
But all of it wouldn't amount to a hill of beans
Unless I had someone like you
Verse
I've been with stars at organ recitals
I've dined with lords with questionable titles
I've been in the presence of many kings and queens
But I've never met somebody like you
