Like It
Bernard Fowler / Ron Wood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm appealing to your instinct,
Let's try again
I know that you don't want me,
You make it plain to see
For me to be the lover, you to be the loved
Promise me once, promise me again

You said you'd come back baby, but you didn't say when
You said you'd come back baby, don't try that trick again

Lick my soul, I'll kiss your funky emotion
Come get some flavor and taste me
Oh, baby, don't waste me
Your indecision, alters my position)
I want to hear you say, hey baby, it's okay

You're playing my heart, I'm so confused
Come on woman! light my fuse!

I might creep up on ya,
You won't be able to shake me
I might creep up on ya,
You won't be able to shake me
I might creep up on ya,
You won't be able to shake me
I might creep up on ya,
You won't be able to shake me

But you just might get to like it,
You just might get to like it.
You might get to like it,
You just might get to like it.

I get this strange feeling, over and over again
I get this strange feeling, that'll make you come back again

Here I stand, all by myself
I'm appealing to you, lover,
I want it all sugar

Every time I see ya, I get weak in the knees
Come on honey, I aim to please!

I might creep up on ya
You won't be able to shake me
I might creep up on ya
You won't be able to shake me
I might creep up on ya
You won't be able to shake me
I might creep up on ya
You won't be able to shake me

But you just might get to like it,
You just might get to like it!
But you just might get to like it,
You just might get to like it!
But you just might get to like it,
You just might get to like it!




But you just might get to like it,
You just might get to like it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ‘Like It’ by Bernard Fowler and Ron Wood evoke a sense of longing and desire for a lover who is clearly disinterested. The singer is trying to appeal to their instinct and convince them to give them another chance. The first two lines convey a sense of perseverance in the face of rejection, with the singer asking for another try even though they know that their lover is not interested in them. The chorus suggests that the lover might eventually warm up to the singer, even if they don’t like it at first.


The second verse is more sensual, with the singer asking their lover to “lick my soul” and “kiss my funky emotion”. They want their lover to try them out and see if they like the flavor, so to speak. However, the lover’s indecision is altering the singer's position, as they feel confused and vulnerable. They want reassurance from their lover that it’s okay and that they’ll eventually come around. The repetition of “I might creep up on ya” at the end of each verse suggests that the singer is not going to give up easily and will continue pursuing their lover, even if it means surprising them.

Ronnis guitar solo without effectomatics.....so great and full of feeling !!!

Betsy Voss

Bernard Fowler is greatly under-appreciated by the public. The man can sing anything. Love him singing those old old songs with Charlie Watt's jazz group.

Andrew Sandoz

First saw Ronnie playing bass with Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart on vocals. Been part of my musical upbringing seen 1968. 😎

tom slick

Ronnie's bass playing with Jeff Beck in influenced alot bass players.

Mark Haus

Me too. Right with you there. Ronnie Wood has been with me since the Jeff Beck days. I just saw him with the Stones on October 9, 2021 in Nashville TN

lynn lattimore

Such a powerful song by great talents! Powerful vocals Bernard ! Loved it !

Shelagh Barron

Ronnie is so talented! That was a terrific song he wrote and it's about time he ventured out and wrote his own music. He is extremely talented with slide guitar too!...not to mention his painting - which is just great!

David Mellish

Erm,what do you mean ' it's about time he ventured out and wrote his own music ' ?
He has released several solo albums, the first was " I've got my own album to do ' in 1974,he's been recording his own music for over 45 years

Javier Almiron

Fenomenno

Robin Nolan

You ought to see him play a washboard! Ronnie is hilarious and smart and infinitely talented.
