Do You Like Me?
Daniel Caesar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Do you like the way I talk to you?
Do I titillate your mind?
Gotta say I like your attitude
And I'd love to make you mine
But I gotta know
Do you really like me? Do you really like me?
Low on time, I'd like to make a move (yeah)
Do you really like me? Do you really like me?
Yeah, we're still young, but for how many moons?

I guess we'll find out
Guess we'll wait and see
Know I like you, babe
I hope you like me

Worst case scenario ('nario), I get played
But hey, this ain't my first rodeo (rodeo)
I hate that I'm so jaded
Yeah, it's cool, but overrated
I wanna be in love again, oh-oh
At first I was fucking your friend (your friend)
But I wanted you
Are we wrong? I guess that depends (that depends)
Will we end up together?
Will you have my kids? You better
I wanna be in love again (ooh)

I guess we'll find out
Guess we'll wait and see
Know I like you, babe
I hope you like me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh




Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Overall Meaning

In Daniel Caesar's "Do You Like Me?" the artist questions whether the person he's interested in likes him back. He asks if his way of talking titillates their mind and if they like his attitude, and while he admits to liking the other person, he also wants to know if the attraction is mutual. He acknowledges that they're still young but wonders for how many moons they'll stay that way. He hopes that they'll end up together, have kids and fall in love again, possibly admitting to having feelings for the person even when he was initially involved with one of their friends.


The artist seems to be exploring the fear of rejection that comes with confessing one's feelings to someone. He's hoping to get a positive response but acknowledges that there's a chance he may get hurt in the process - he mentions getting played as the worst-case scenario. However, he doesn't want to remain jaded and open to love, possibly even in a committed long-term relationship that leads to starting a family. The repetition of the lyrics "Do you really like me?" adds emphasis to this line of questioning and the uncertainty of the situation, but also adds a sense of vulnerability to the artist's character.
