Like That

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that

So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right

Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that

So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right

Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that

So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right

Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that

So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right (right, right, right)
