You Know You Like It
AlunaGeorge Dj Snake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people want me to be heads or tails
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
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?

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?

Overall Meaning

In AlunaGeorge's You Know You Like It, the lyrics speak to the pressure some people feel to conform to societal expectations of how they should behave, while still wanting to have their own fun and be themselves. The song begins with Aluna addressing those who want her to be "heads or tails," or conform to a certain way of being, but she refuses to let them dictate her life. Instead, she wants to enjoy herself and not let anyone bring her down.


The chorus repeats the phrase "you know you like it but it drives you insane," which can be interpreted in a few ways. It could be seen as people being attracted to those who don't conform but being unsure of how to approach them or hesitant because they're afraid of being judged. Alternatively, it could be seen as Aluna's message to those who want her to conform - they may be attracted to her rebellious spirit, but it makes them uncomfortable because it goes against the status quo.


The second verse reiterates Aluna's refusal to be tamed or treated like an animal. She reminds the listener that cruelty is unnecessary and that there's nothing for her to prove. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the tension between attraction and hesitation towards someone who defies what's expected.


Overall, You Know You Like It is a song that speaks to the struggle of being true to oneself while facing pressure from those who want to force conformity. It celebrates individuality and invites the listener to embrace their own rebellious spirit.
