Keith Urban - Somebody Like You

This is a month of hunky country music stars. One country hunk is a little different from they typical Country act. He doesn't wear a cowboy hat or boots, he doesn't have a short haircut, and he isn't american (he's a kiwi).

Keith Urban writes his own music, plays a mean guitar, and is married to Nichole Kidman. In many ways, he is a typical "ten year overnight sensation" - someone who works for a decade before Nashville notices, and then explodes onto the music scene.

After working for ten years as a studio guitarist, Urban's breakthrough was in 2002, with the ARIA Country album of the year, Golden Road. Somebody Like You captures the optimistic spirit and rock crossover of the "New Country".



(Songwriters: Keith Urban, John Shanks)
There's a new wind blowing like I've never known
I'm breathing deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you.

And I'm letting go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now theres just one thing, the only thing I wanna do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know theres nothing in this world I can't do

I used to run in circles going no where fast
I'd take one step forward and look two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

Whoa here we go now
Yeah, Hey i wanna love you baby

Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do

Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teaching me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
And I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you (yeah)

Hey I wanna love you baby

  1. I agree with Mrs. Borepatch on her first choice of country hunks...Keith Urban is my choice too! I love SOMEBODY LIKE YOU! I could never play another song in my car when my granddaughter was with me. It had to be SLY!! She would sing her heart out to this song!
