I Like You
Australian Blonde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I want you, oh, I want you
And that's all the reason for me, for I want you
Oh, I want you, I want you
And that's all the reason for me, for I want you

Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me try to bring you down

I hate you, oh, and I hate you
And that's all the reason for me, for I hate you
Oh I hate you, I-i hate you
And that's all the reason for me, for I hate you

Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me try to bring you down

Since it was you for chasing my mind
No one was told to be only one, to be only one

Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight
Let me have you tonight




Let me have you tonight
Let me try to bring you down
