Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need more hours with you
You spent the weekend
Getting even, ooh ooh
We spent the late nights
Making things right, between us
But now it's all good baby
Roll that Backwood baby
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
I spent last night
On the last flight to you
Took a whole day up
Trying to get way up, ooh ooh
We spent the daylight
Trying to make things right between us
And now it's all good baby
Roll that Backwood baby
And play me close
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
Maybe it's 6:45
Maybe I'm barely alive
Maybe you've taken my shit for the last time, yeah
Maybe I know that I'm drunk
Maybe I know you're the one
Maybe I'm thinking it's better if you drive
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you
The lyrics of "Girls Like You," performed by 48th St. Collective and Nikki Ocean, describe the desire for a certain type of girl. The singer starts by saying that he has spent some time with this girl but wishes to spend more time with her. They have had some issues in the relationship, but they have worked to make things right. The singer then talks about how he wants to get closer to this girl, asking her to roll a Backwood (a type of cigar) and play him close. He acknowledges that he is not the type of guy that girls like her usually go for but expresses his desire to be with her anyway. The chorus repeats the desire for a girl like her who loves fun and would be a good fit for him.
The second stanza describes how the singer travelled a long way (presumably to see the girl) and spent the day trying to make things right between them. He repeats the request for her to roll a Backwood and play him close, saying that he wants to spend more time with her. The third stanza takes a more introspective turn, with the singer acknowledging that he may have caused problems in the relationship and that he is not at his best right now. However, he still wants the girl to be with him and says that girls like her usually run around with guys like him.
Overall, the lyrics of "Girls Like You" express the singer's desire for a specific type of girl, one who loves fun and would be a good match for him despite their differences. He acknowledges that he may not be the type of guy that girls like her typically go for but expresses his desire to be with her anyway.
