You Know You Like It
AlunaGeorge (Bondax Remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say no way, try again, another day
I should be happy, not tipping the scales
I just won't play letting my life get away
I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower
I don't take things as they come
If they bring me down
I just wanna have some fun
Don't tell me what can't be done
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but you're scared of the shame
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
Follow me cause you know that you wanna feel the same
You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
If you wanna train me like an animal
Better keep your eye on my every move
There's no need to be, so damn cruel
Baby you got nothing to prove
I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower
I don't take things as they come
If they bring me down
Life can be cruel if you're a dreamer
I just wanna have some fun
Don't tell me what can't be done
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but you're scared of the shame
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
Follow me cause you know that you wanna feel the same
You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but you're scared of the shame
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
Follow me cause you know that you wanna feel the same
You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
The lyrics to AlunaGeorge's "You Know You Like It" (Bondax Remix) explore themes of individuality and standing up for oneself in the face of social pressures. The first stanza suggests that some people may try to control and direct the singer's life, and while they may try to weigh her down, she knows better than to let them do so. The chorus plays with the idea of something being simultaneously desired and feared, implying that the singer is confident in her choices, but those choices may be seen as socially unacceptable. The second stanza includes a direct invitation for someone to "train" the singer, but she warns that they will be unsuccessful in doing so, perhaps suggesting that she is willing to embrace her individuality at any cost.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to recognize and embrace their authentic selves, even if that means going against societal norms. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that this struggle is ongoing and can cause internal conflict, but ultimately it is necessary to be true to oneself.
