I Love You
Axwell / Ingrosso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though I don't like you right now
I want you
Even though you keep breaking me down
We got
Really high highs
Really low lows
But I still love you
I was tryna save us
But you got me looking like the villain
I had a couple mixed drinks
Now I got a couple mixed feelings
I love it, I love it
You know just how to fit in that dress
Then, I don't like it, I don't like it
Wish they had a button for your Instagram pic
We argue about this and that when
You say you need a different address
Break up to make up
Hit the mattress
Wake up and you don't remember half of
The whole lotta games that we played
I ain't afraid to say when I'm wrong
And you ain't afraid to dance how you want
When your favorite song is on, ah
I love you
Even though I don't like you right now
I want you
Even though you keep breaking me down
We got
Really high highs
Really low lows
But I still love you
Even though I don't like you right now
I love you (I love you, I love you)
I want you (I want you, I want you)
I love you (I love you, I love you)
I want you
Even though I don't like you right now
You ain't gotta say nothin', you ain't gotta say nothin'
Already know why you trippin'
And I had nothin' to do with them bitches
So you ain't gotta say nothin'
Six inch heel when she bust in
Should've seen my face when she rushed in
Throwin' purses, make-up and brushes
I can't keep it aside
Loving with caution, rushing
No I can't see you tonight
But 2AM I might be calling, calling
'Cause I love you
Even though I don't like you right now
I want you
Even though you keep breaking me down
We got
Really high highs
Really low lows
But I still love you
Even though I don't like you right now
I don't like you no
I, I, I don't like you no, I
I love you
I want you
I don't like you
I love you
I want you
I love you
Even though I don't like you right now
I want you
Even though you keep breaking me down
We got
Really high highs
Really low lows
But I still love you
Even though I don't like you right now
