Something Like Olivia Lyrics
Well Olivia's taken
But a look like her's can be found from time to time
Well Olivia's taken
But a look like her's can be found from time to time
I'm thinking something like Olivia
Is what I need to find
There's only one man in this world
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
There's only one man in this world
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
I'm thinking something like Olivia
Can keep me through the night
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
I keep thinking something like Olivia
Is what I need to find
Now I'm not trying to steal
No love away from no one, man
Now I'm not trying to steal
No love away from no one, man
But if Olivia herself were at my door
I'd have to say I'd let her in
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
I keep thinking something like Olivia
Is what I need to find
But a look like her's can be found from time to time
But a look like her's can be found from time to time
Is what I need to find
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
Can keep me through the night
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Is what I need to find
No love away from no one, man
No love away from no one, man
I'd have to say I'd let her in
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Is what I need to find

I felt the need to post this... My daughter's name is Olivia, she's 5 years old. She is the most precious girl in the whole world. The second I heard this song I played it for her... She said "Did johnny make this song?" I said "Who's Johnny?" She looked at me "He's in my class, he's always looking at me and it creeps me out, but if wrote this song then I'll stop telling him to stop looking at me!"
your daughter is the most luckiest girl in the world. and that little dude should thank john for this song. thank you for sharing!! :D

I really like this song. It's a great song to listen to while thinking about a crush you have on someone when you can't be with them for one reason or another.
I think the lyrics are pretty self explanatory... he wants someone (olivia) but she is taken by someone else. but in general, it's a girl like her that he is looking for.
I'm just so excited to finally have a song with my name it!!
It's about Olivia Wilde.
I'd understand if it was, she definitely deserves a song like this, but is there any particular reason why you think it's about her?

There's always a John Mayer song about longing. You have to wonder sometimes how long this is going to go on.
Then again, I'm not complaining. I love this song.
Like a lot of great songs, it taps on a specific situation which everyone must have gone through at one point in their lives.
This song is like a grown up version of Love Song For No One. Yeah?
I totally feel like it is Olivia Wild as well. She is with an Italian dude and has been with him for a long time. Plus she has been in 3 or 4 popular movies recently and i can totally see John Mayer diggin her.
I bet you anything it's about a guitar. Notice he says "something," not "someone."
I was thinking the same thing. I wish i had "something" to love as much as that.

I love this song. Has a Stevie Ray vibe. I'm thinking this could potentially be about Mr Mayer's old flame; Jennifer Aniston. She played a character called Olivia in a film called "Friends with Money." This might be a stretch though? Maybe it's about Olivia Newton-John? She is a babe. Grease Lightning!
And you mentioned Olivia Newton John, why? Perhaps because she CANNOT SING! You knew that one wouldn't slide past me, big boy;)

Anything with a Steveie Ray vibe has GOT to be good. (I need to listen to this song!).

I'm a personal friend of John, and he told me the original lyrics were "well, chlamydia has taken, and I'm gonna look like this from time to time", but the record company didnt like it so they got him to change it
@Pellettime oh well then considering an anonymous person on the internet says they are a friend it must be true. Unfortunately your story doesn't really hold up in the song ... that is it would make no sense if chlamydia.
