Someone Like You
Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates
What our hearts have denied
And all the sweet memories
Won't bring the love back to life
And the more that we try
The more it's gonna make you see
No words, hope, anything
Will bring back life to your dream
All night it took me to learn
Oh baby, baby how to say
The love just won't work
Just for once in my life
Do I wanna go with what's right
It's gonewe've got to move on
You know that's the truth - so do I
Sad bouquets we save
Won't make up one sweet day
Throw The Roses Away
Don't need them anymore
Cause they just make you cry
If you let it go, let it go
Let it go baby
You'll get some peace of mind
Only lonely for now
But you'll come back from the pain
Though I don't know if I'll ever find
Someone like you again
Sad bouquets we save
Won't make up one sweet day
Throw The Roses Away
Words in my mind
Talk about you to me all the time
Oh why should just a rose
Have such a sad hold
Over our lives
Sad bouquets we save
Won't make up one sweet day
Throw The Roses Away
Don't need them anymore
Cause they just make you cry
If you let it go, let it go
Let it go baby
You'll get some peace of mind
Only lonely for now
But you'll come back from the pain
Though I don't know if I'll ever find
Someone Like You
Hall & Oates' "Someone Like You" stands as a quintessential example of their signature blend of soulful R&B and polished rock, capturing the melancholic essence of lost love. Recorded during the late 1970s, the track exemplifies the duo's ability to weave intricate guitar lines with emotive vocals, a hallmark of their discography that resonated deeply with audiences. The song reflects the era's shift toward more introspective songwriting, moving away from the upbeat party anthems that often defined their earlier work. Its enduring popularity underscores the timeless quality of their storytelling, which continues to influence modern pop and rock musicians who value emotional authenticity over fleeting trends. As a staple in their catalog, the recording remains a powerful testament to their collaborative chemistry and mastery of the genre.
