Adele, Some one like you,



Following a well-received performance of the song at the 2011 BRIT Awards, "Someone like You" became Adele's first number one single in the United Kingdom and it stayed on the top of the chart for five weeks. The song also topped the charts in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Italy, France and Switzerland, and has become Adele's second number one in the United States. With that achievement Adele became the first female British solo singer in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have two number ones from the same album. In July 2011, it became the first single of the decade to sell a million units in the United Kingdom and it was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), as well as being certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States.
"Someone like You" is a song by English singer-songwriter Adele written by Adele and Dan Wilson for her

   second studio album 21. The pop[1] and soul ballad was inspired by a broken relationship, and lyrically it speaks of Adele coming to terms with it. XL Recordings released the song as the second single from the album on 24 January 2011 in the United Kingdom and on 9 August 2011 in the United States. Accompanied only by a piano in the song (played by co-writer Wilson), Adele sings about the end of the relationship with her ex-boyfriend. The song received positive reviews from music critics who chose the song as a highlight of the album and praised the lyrics, its simple sound and Adele's vocal performance.

                                     


*here the lyric*
                   

             I heard that you're settled down
             That you found a girl
             And you're married now
             I heard that your dreams came true
             Guess she gave you things

I didn't give to you
Old friend why are you so shy
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

              I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but
              I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
              I had hoped you'd see my face
              And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

             You know how the time flies
             Only yesterday was the time of our lives
             We were born and raised
             In a summer haze
             Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but
I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

           Never mind I find someone like you
           I wish nothing but the best for you two
           Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
           Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made
Who would have known how bitter-sweet this would taste

         Never mind I'll find someone like you
         I wish nothing but the best for you
         Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
         Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind how I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah....
