Verse 1

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control and Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

Pre-Chorus 1

But she said, where'd you wanna go, how much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss

Chorus 1

I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo 
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo 
Oh I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo 
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo 
Oh I want something just like this      
I want something just like this      

Verse 2

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
The testaments they told, the moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls, a suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

Pre-Chorus 2

She said, where'd you wanna go, how much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss

Chorus 2

I want something just like this      
I want something just like this      
Oh I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo 
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-oo 
Oh I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo 
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-oo 

Pre-Chorus 3

Where'd you wanna go, how much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
D/F# (G)
I want something just like this
