Like You
Bow Wow & Ciara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 gon' 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

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 gon' 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

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
I 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

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

Okay when you hit the mall pop tags spend a few G's and
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 (need love)
You know I got it holla at me if you need love (need 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
But since I met you my life seems so better

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 gon' 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

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 gon' 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
