This track is by Gerry and the Pacemakers, written by Mitch Murray, and was played frequently as the final track of a concert throughout the 1982 See You Tour. Lyrics are reprinted below, transcribed from the live performances themselves. Live performances are mostly faithful to the original lyrics, but a couple short verses are chopped off and there are slight differences in some word choices. The entire track, sourced from a stellar sounding FM broadcast recording of 1982-02-21 Tiffany's, Glasgow, Scotland, UK, is available to listen below. The track is mentioned by Daryl Bamonte in Bong Magazine, Issue 24 on page 15, see below:
Daryl Bamonte has said on Facebook regarding "I Like It":
I definitely do not recall "ILI" ever being demoed, or even played live until 1982

Lyrics
I Like It
I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I like the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let yourself in
When your mama's not there
I like it, I like it
I like the things you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you're winkin' your eye
And I know I like you, and I know I like you
Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too, you're likin' it too
Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too, you're likin' it too
Whoa oh, I like it
Are you likin' it too?
