Diana Krall - Exactly Like You Lyrics






I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
I pray each night for someone
Exactly like you

Why should we spend some money
On a show or two
No one plays those love themes
Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give the world to you
You make me understand
Every foolish little dream I'm dreaming
Every scheme I'm scheming

I know why my mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you

I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
I pray each night for someone
Exactly like you

Why should we spend some money
On a show or two
No one plays those love themes
Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give the world to you
You make me understand
Every foolish little dream I'm dreaming
Every scheme I'm scheming

I know why my mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
My baby, exactly like you

Diana Krall Exactly Like You Comments
  1. C.... C....

    Made all my instrumental for my SOUND recorded by twelve years old. Cynthia Corcoran as Diana Krall

  2. C.... C....

    I'm camillion I'm Alamater where or when, live in rio

  3. p.... ....

    This is all fine and dandy until you go listen to Ella do it.

  4. M.... B....

    Exactly Like You -- always best performed 'mid-tempo' and, yes, it's a 'girl's song
    .' Words like these are always best delivered by young Ladies of Song: " . . . I know why my mother taught me to be true: She meant me for someone, exactly like you."

    At this moment Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio is playing Louis Armstrong's delightful sung-version of EXACTLY LIKE YOU. But his dear friend Ella did most everyone's all-time favorite version of this 'best-sung-by-a-girl' song. The best 'live' jazz performance? This one. By Canada's "other greatest gift to jazz" (after Oscar). Another from her "Live in Rio" DVD recordings of a decade ago. I've listed the top flight musicians (at Sinatra Family -- Forum -- "Siriusly Sinatra" -- MY FAVORITE VERSION -- YOURS TOO?) so, let's just enjoy this 'approved' upload from "Eagle Rock" Entertainment Group.

    Thanks for sharing. Celebrated with Nancy this day: https://sinatrafamily.com/forum/showthread.php/50225-My-Favorite-Version-%28yours-too-%29?p=1278555#post1278555

  16. H.... Z....

    Diana Krall proves that there are a lot of people who know fuck all about talent and Jazz music. SHE STINKS, a contrived player at best, and very homely looking.

  17. P.... H....

    The guitarist looks like Eric Clapton !!

    P.... H....

    hi is Eric him self

    P.... H....

    Lol @tammber . Guitarrist is Anthony Wilson. Eric Clapton´s dream ;-)

  18. Z.... Z....

    Oooleeeeeé

  23. A.... v....

    Top trac.

  24. T.... T....

    Diana Krall's energy is soft, lethargic, subtly swinging...She is NOT a grand stander nor a typical "show" person.I appreciate her style. She more contibutes to the variety of jazz. She is in a class by herself.

  25. G.... P....

    Exactly Like You  -  Diana Krall.. Live In Rio ..great trac..

  29. B.... N....

    What I love about jazz is that the music can express fun in some elegant way! haha

  30. F.... ....

    Note the musicians, they are having fun and so is she!!! Wonderful performance!!!

  31. M.... B....

    Who swings cleaner and harder than Krall?  In small group jazz combo's  in front of large audiences.  There is Nancy Wilson, and a handful of others but she is still one of the best.

  32. D.... ....

  56. D.... B....

    Clapton ain't fit to carry Anthony Wilson's Monteleone guitar case.....Mr Wilson is THE man.

  57. 4.... ....

    She is as understated and cool as her guitar guy is. I can spend (DO) hours on utube checking out Diana Krall performances.

  59. b.... a....

    YES THATS ALL i HAVE TO SAY YES

  60. D.... W....

    de l'humour en plus to much !

  61. F.... G....

    Muy buena interprete, femenina, encantadora y buena pianista. Debo agregar que tiene unos rasgos muy parecidos al Rey del rock , Elvis Presley, por tanto se parece a la hija de él.

  62. A.... C....

    Snaps at 4:02, nice.

  63. T.... J....

    As soon as I saw this I thought, what's Eric Clapton doing there..LOL

    I love this song! "Exactly like you"

    I know why I've waited
    Know why I've been blue
    I pray each night for someone
    Exactly like you

    Why should we spend some money
    On a show or two
    No one plays those love themes
    Exactly like you

    You make me feel so grand
    I wanna give the world to you
    You make me understand
    Every foolish little dream I'm dreaming
    Every scheme I'm scheming

    I know why my mother
    Taught me to be true
    She meant me for someone
    Exactly like you

    ( for "someone exactly like You")

  66. M.... B....

    fantastic

  67. f.... ....

    It just doesn't get any better. Diana is the best I have ever heard. Wonder how her divorce to Elvis will affect her music. Hope not at all.

  68. T.... ....

    That's Elroy Clapton.... long lost brother ! HA !!! ;-)
    I'm a "rocker" guitarist.... but to be in this band...wow.... I would get more satisfaction from those "oh so smooth" notes and chord structures.

  69. M.... R....

    Awesome

  70. D.... ....

    I got here on accident, and wanted to go away 3 times but her voice just held me hostage 2 stay here till the end off the song. Incredible

  71. c.... ....

  82. J.... ....

    @curtcobain04
    Eric Clapton is good. I never heard him play this kind of music, but I would bet he can. But as good as this guy? I dunno about that. Wish I could play as well as either of them TBH!

  83. B.... ....

    Jeff Hamilton continues to be the tastiest jazz drummer in the biz

    What a smokin' woman! If she don't make you melt to your sneakers, no one will

  95. M.... d....

    Placer de dioses!!!!!

  96. W.... B....

    @Zezlo He looks but he seems to be too young for Eric and of course couldn't have played the guitar on his right but left knee. Left knee version is much harder to execute, and more professional, I guess. Correct me if I am wrong.
