Someone Like You Lyrics

Oh it's so good

To spend some time with you

But only a bit

When I'm feeling impulsive

You look really nice

And your mind's OK too

But after a while

I find you repulsive

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

And the things you like us both to do

Improve with others too

Those photos I asked to take of your face meant

I was making a reference to find your replacement

Although the problem is probably me

It's easier to exchange you - and free

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

You don't smell bad

In fact the odour's pleasant

Your breath's not stale

Your clothes, co-ordinated

Your sense of humour

Is charming, always present

Yet overall

You leave me nauseated

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

And the things you like us both to do

Would be better with someone new

The lock of your hair which I keep in my home

Is kept in case science can create a clone

Without the defects, which they'll cure

Though what those are, I'm still not sure

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

I've been given the direction

To overlook all imperfection

And that does have some power

For perhaps half an hour

I've tried to be fair

But I'm always aware

I'll have to leave quick

Or else I'll be sick

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

And the things you like both us to do

Would be better with someone new

I'm checking out people with similar appellatives

And gradually working my way through all of your relatives

Maybe there's some world where you're the only one

But these other options all seem so much more fun

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

And the things you like both us to do

Would be better with anybody

Absolutely anybody else other than you

I could write another line here but I really can't be bothered

Because the ultimate message I hope has got through to you now

Is that I just want you to leave me alone

I don't know what it is but there's something about you that just makes me want to be sick

You make me want someone like you

But not actually you

Not you

Not you
