Like I Do
Brooke White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're moving to L.A
Well if that's the way
That you wanted to be
Then I stay behind
With little piece of mind
That you feel the same way, about me
Because...
When you're gone
It won't be long
Til you find someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do
You will find someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do
Ooooooooooooooooh
And I know
That you got to go
And find yourself on your own
But I'm telling you
Whatever you do
Then I'm holding on
Even though I could lose him
When you're gone
It won't be long
Til you find someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do
You will find someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do
Oooh
Do you still dream of me
When you close your eyes til you go to sleep
There's one more day and you sleeping late
I need you here with me
Ooooooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooooooh
Now you call to say
You had come to L.A
And the things have change
And time or space could come in between
You and me
And if that's the way
That you wanted to be
So now I'm gone
And it won't be long
Til I'm next to you
And I can love you like I do
Like I do
I knew no one could have ever love you like... I do
Ummmm....
Like I do
Like I do
Like I do
Do you still dream of me
Do you still dream of me
Do you still dream of me
Do you still dream of me

So you say
You tell me
You're moving to L.A
You're leaving for Los Angeles
Well if that's the way
If that's your decision
That you wanted to be
That's what you desire
Then I stay behind
So I'm staying here
With little piece of mind
I'm not feeling completely at ease
That you feel the same way, about me
That you have similar feelings for me
When you're gone
Once you leave
It won't be long
It won't take much time
Til you find someone new
Until you meet someone else
Who won't love you like I do
Who won't have the same feelings as me
And I know
I am aware
That you got to go
That you have to leave
And find yourself on your own
And discover yourself independently
But I'm telling you
I want to inform you
Whatever you do
No matter what you choose
Then I'm holding on
I'm still hanging in there
Even though I could lose him
Although I might end up losing you
Do you still dream of me
Do you still have dreams about me
When you close your eyes til you go to sleep
At bedtime when you shut your eyes
There's one more day and you sleeping late
One more day before you wake up
I need you here with me
I want you to be with me
Now you call to say
Now you're calling me to inform
You had come to L.A
You arrived in Los Angeles
And the things have change
Things are different now
And time or space could come in between
Distance might be a problem
You and me
Our relationship
And if that's the way
And if that's how it is
That you wanted to be
That's what you desired
So now I'm gone
Now I am absent
And it won't be long
It won't take much time
Til I'm next to you
Until I am close to you
And I can love you like I do
And I can love you in my way
I knew no one could have ever love you like... I do
I knew that no one could love you like me
