Written by John Mellencamp As my time goes by On the mean, cruel earth Trying to find some peace A little something to believe in How can things go so wrong In such a beautiful world Why are so many people crying Where's humanity gone And every time it gets so dark There's nothing for me to see Something comes along (just like you) Yea, just like you Something so unbelievably beautiful Just like you Well, it happened the other day I'm just walking down the street I'm looking down at my shoes With only myself in my way I'm livin' in my head Too much life in my veins Forgetting all of the time We're always in motion with angels And every time it gets so dark And there's nothing for me to see Something comes along (just like you) Yea, just like you Something so unbelievably beautiful Just like you As my time goes by On this mean, cruel world Trying to find some peace A little happiness to believe in How can things go so wrong In such a beautiful world Why are so many millions crying Where's humanity gone And every time it gets so dark There's nothing for me to see Something comes along (just like you) Yea, just like you Something so unbelievably beautiful Just like you Yea come along (just like you) Yea, just like you (just like you) Something so unbelievably beautiful Just like you
