#VERSE
I heard God talking
Whispering about you
I eavesdropped on the conversation
Wasn’t sure who She was talking to
#PRE-CHORUS
Turned out She was speaking
Directly to me
From Her death bed She was asking
What Her final miracle should be
… and I asked for…
#CHORUS
One more like you
One more like you
As God’s last miracle
’Cause, damn, there’s too few
One more like you
#VERSE
God rolled toward me
In Her hospice bed
Looked me straight in the eyes
And here’s what She said…
#PRE-CHORUS
“It’s really not fair of you
To play that card
Used days of omnipotence making her
Making more copies now is hellishly hard”
…but I knelt and begged for…
#CHORUS
One more like you
One more like you
As God’s last miracle
’Cause, damn, there’s too few
Seems selfish only I
Get to feel love so true
What the world needs now
Is one more like you
Yeah. One more like you
#BRIDGE
I ran my best case past God, saying
“I love what you did
My woman’s funny, kind, compassionate
And we’ll have cute kids
Please let others find the joy
Of a woman who’s the best
But hold the horniness
Most guys would die from such great sex”

#VERSE
God’s countenance perked up
Looked better than before
Sat upright on that hospice bed
Said, “I thought humans didn’t need me anymore”
#PRE-CHORUS
“But if you really need me
To do quality control
I’ll make more women like your lover
More beautiful souls
…and I cheered loudly…
#CHORUS
One more like you
One more like you
You, my love, are a miracle
And I express deep gratitude
God’s gonna help more of us
Feel love so true
What the world needs now
Is one more like you
Maybe many more like you
#OUTRO
You’re my one and only
I won the love lottery, it’s true
But God’s gonna bless more winners
With many more like you
Many more like you
Many more like you
