I Like It

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:

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?
