This bar's about to close so
We should head home right now
The gin's finally hit me
Guess I should just let it out

Hm don't need explaining
No I'm not complaining
When our hands are touching

Bodies do the talking
Hands on the steering wheel
I stole a glance and I'm
Locked in

How can I resist
When you look at me like that
How can I resist
When you look at me like that
How can I resist
When you look at me like that
How can I resist
How can I resist
When you look at
When you look at me like that

I'll pour over your skin
I'll put my words in your mouth
This is what it feels like
Love without a second of doubt

Hm don't need explaining
No I'm not complaining
When our hands are touching
Bodies do the talking
Stop what you're doing
Take me home and lock the door
Right now

How can I resist
When you look at me like that
How can I resist
When you look at me like that
How can I resist

How can I resist
When you look at me like that
Our bodies joined and become one
And I don't know how you do it
How you drive me crazy
Don't wanna see the morning sun
Just show me how you do it
How you drive me crazy

Our bodies joined and become one
Our bodies joined and become one
And I don't know how you do it
How you drive me crazy
Don't wanna see the morning sun
Don't wanna see the morning sun
Just show me how you do it

How can I resist
When you look at me like that
Oh how can I resist
Oh when you look at me like that

How can I resist
Said how can I resist you baby
When you look at me like that
Said how can I resist you baby

When you look at
When you look at me like that

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alextbh's song "Like That" describe the intoxicating rush of falling in lust with someone. The singer suggests that they and their partner should leave the bar and go home, as they are becoming increasingly affected by the gin they have been drinking. The physical attraction between them is undeniable, and they cannot resist each other's touch. The lyrics suggest that the couple's bodies communicate their desire more powerfully than words ever could, and the singer is completely captivated by their partner's gaze.

The second verse picks up on this theme of wordless communication, as the singer promises to explore their partner's body using both their hands and their words. The phrase "love without a second of doubt" suggests that the attraction between the two is so strong that they do not need to question it or analyze it in order to enjoy it. The chorus repeats the phrase "how can I resist, when you look at me like that" to emphasize the singer's sense of powerlessness in the face of their attraction to their partner. The final repetition of the chorus introduces the idea that the two bodies will become one, but that the singer does not want to face the reality of morning.

Overall, the lyrics to "Like That" describe a moment of intense physical attraction between two people, and suggest that the urge to give in to this attraction is both irresistible and a little frightening.
