[Chorus: Ciara]
I ain't never had nobody show me all the things that you can show me
And the special way I feel when you hold me
We gone always be together baby that's what you told me
And I believe it
Cause I ain't never had nobody do me like you

Now I done been with different kind of girls
Like I done seen em all but ain't none of them at all (like you)
And I done seen the best of the best
Baby still I ain't impressed cause ain't none of them at all (like you)
If you know how I feel when I chill
If I'm seen with a girl then she gotta be just (like you)
And baby that's the way I feel
And I got no choice but for me to keep it real
Cause when we first got together started hanging out you was
Skeptical at first had to figure out if
I was the kind of guy to try to dog you out but
I ain't that kind of guy you tried to make me out
You found out when you turned to my baby
I showed them other brothers how to treat a lady
I let you drive when I ride that Mercedes
And I ain't tripping or acting shady cause baby you know

[Chorus]

And every time I think about you (I smile)
When you ride when you call when you come I (ride)
Your love is amazing to me
Can't wait til I see you (I wanna be wit you again)
And every time you're out on the road (I make a trip)
And whenever I'm doing a show (Don't you forget)
That I'm your (main chick)
Who got that (game chick)
One and the (same chick)
The one you can hang with

[Chorus]

Okay when you hit the mall pop tags spend a few g's
Hit the runway to a new season (season)
It ain't nothing it's you the one I care for
Feel like I ain't doing enough that's when I share more (share more)
I give you this give you that what you need love (love)
You know I got it holla at me if you need love (love)
And affection cause I'll be your protection
Kinda hard job but I'll do it to perfection
And you can tell that I ain't trying let you go
I get with you when I can so that's how I let you know
And you be tripping cause sometimes I gotta go
But you the first one I holler to right after my shows
And I was tripping in a sense I was tense
From my body loose around you what I'ma do without you
I gotta get it together say whatever
Cause since I met you my life seems so better





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

The chorus of Bow Wow's "Like You" featuring Ciara is a declaration of love towards the special person in their life. The person in question is different from anyone else they've ever had a relationship with because they treat Bow Wow in a unique, special way, which makes them believe that they will always be together. This person has shown Bow Wow things they've never known before and has a hold on them that they cannot explain. The first verse talks about how Bow Wow has been with different girls previously but none of them compare to this special person. The second verse is Bow Wow's promise to always be there for this person, no matter what. The verses explain how their relationship started, from the initial skepticism to developing into something special. The lyrics also demonstrate the gender-fluidity in the way Bow Wow refers to their partner as "chick" and "main chick."


The chorus of the song is the most crucial aspect because it attests to the unique connection the two artists share. They reinforce the idea that they will always be together because of the bond borne of an unmatched level of love and care, which is something Bow Wow has never experienced before. This song is a love letter to someone who means the world to them. The music video also reflects this theme, as it shows Bow Wow and Ciara engaging in various activities that show their bond and love, like bowling and riding in the car together.
