this song is "Original of the Species." U2 has performed this song sporadically throughout their vertigo tour, but the milan performance is great! it had a live orchestra sitting on the bstages =)
here are the lyrics:
Baby slow down
The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart
I’ll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind
And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
And I kneel ‘cos I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you’re not
Everywhere you go you shout it
You don’t have to be shy about it
Some things you shouldn’t get too good at
Like smiling, crying and celebrity
Some people got way too much confidence baby
I’ll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind
And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel ‘cos I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you’re not
Everywhere you go you shout it
You don’t have to be shy about it, no
And you’ll never be alone
Come on now show your soul
You’ve been keeping your love under control
Everywhere you go you shout it
You don’t have to be shy about it
Everywhere you go you shout it
Oh my my
And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel ‘cos I want you some more
I want you some more, I want you some more…
you can watch some of it here on amazon:

here's an exerpt of Bono describing what was going through his head when he wrote the song:
"it's about seeing some people who are ashamed of their bodies, in particular teenagers with eating disorders, not feeling comfortable with themselves and their sexuality. I'm just saying to them, you are one of a kind, you are the first one of your kind, you're an original of the species..."You feel like no one before, you steal right under my door, I kneel 'cause I want you some more, I want the lot of what you've got, and I want nothing that you're not, everywhere you go you shout it, you don't have to be shy about it". So it's a "be who you are", and I can't wait to play it live. Edge plays some extraordinary piano which got the complexity to the verses, to balance that anthem."
he originally wrote it for the Edge's daughter Holly (bono is her godfather) but it has more universal connotations as well.
it's a beautiful song.

These are the songs they did at that concert:
'Vertigo'
'I Will Follow'
'Elevation'
'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'
'All I Want Is You'
'City of Blinding Lights'
i don't know of anything with those exact lyrics, but maybe one of these will ring a bell
