Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why not do it like that
I'm not gonna fight back
If you do it like that
I know that you like that
Why not do it like that
I'm not gonna fight back
And then there I'm waiting babe
There you send me a little faith
To believe that you still want me
They say I need company
I don't wanna not go here
What you do I can't compare it
I know that you like that
Why not do it like that
I'm not gonna fight back
If you do it like that
I know that you like that
Why not do it like that
I'm not gonna fight back
If you do it like that
And then there I'm waiting babe
There you send me a little faith
To believe that you still want me
They say I need company
I don't wanna not go here
What you do I can't compare it
I know that you like that
Why not do it like that
I'm not gonna fight back
If you do it like that
I know that you like that
Why not do it like that
I'm not gonna fight back
If you do it like that
And then there I'm waiting babe
There you send me a little faith
To believe that you still want me
They say I need company
I don't wanna not go here
What you do I can't compare it
The lyrics to Beauty & the Beats' song "Like That" convey a sense of surrender and acceptance in a relationship. The singer is urging their partner to continue behaving in a certain way, suggesting that they enjoy and approve of it. The repeated line, "Why not do it like that," suggests that the singer sees the partner's actions as desirable and wants them to continue. Furthermore, the singer declares that they will not fight back if the partner keeps doing things the way they like.
The chorus reinforces this message, with the singer acknowledging that they know the partner enjoys the specific behavior and urging them to continue without any resistance. The following lines, "There you send me a little faith, to believe that you still want me," reveal a vulnerability on the part of the singer. It seems that their faith in the partner's feelings for them has been dwindling, but the partner's actions provide a glimmer of hope and reassurance.
In the last stanza, the singer states, "What you do I can't compare it." This line suggests that the partner's actions are unique and unparalleled, making it difficult for the singer to imagine being with anyone else. Despite the mention of needing company, the singer expresses a reluctance to explore other options or leave the current relationship.
Overall, "Like That" presents the theme of acceptance and desire for a partner to continue behaving in a specific manner, with the hope of reaffirming the partner's commitment.
