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?
