The lyrics of Gerry & The Pacemakers's song "I Like It" express the singer's unequivocal adoration for his romantic partner. The song's playful and innocent tone evokes the giddy excitement of young love, as the singer recounts all the things he likes about his special someone. He enjoys the way she runs her fingers through his hair, the way she tickles his chin, and the way she allows him to come over when her mother is not around. He is smitten with the things she says and does, including straightening his tie and winking at him. As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly enamored with his partner, thrilled by the "funny feelings" she produces in him and encouraged by her reciprocated affection.
Many listeners interpret the lyrics of "I Like It" as being emblematic of the early 1960s Merseybeat sound that Gerry & The Pacemakers helped popularize in Liverpool. The song's catchy melody and upbeat rhythm capture the youthful enthusiasm and energy of the genre, as well as the ebullient optimism of the time period. The song's refrain of "I like it, I like it" also reinforces this idea by emphasizing the pleasure and enjoyment inherent in the young romance described in the lyrics.
Overall, "I Like It" is a charming and sweet love song that represents a particular moment in music history when rock and roll was beginning to be infused with the sounds and rhythms of British pop.

Iβm a 13 year old girl and I love this song. I love 60s music and sadly I do get bullied a lot at school for this :( itβs really sad to think about because I donβt really know why those kids think itβs cool to hurt others and make them feel sad. Hopefully one day they will stop picking on me because it does really hurt me and I do find it hard to stay strong sometimes, but with these songs I feel strong and brave. I am going to stay strong and hopefully I will get though this. β€οΈ

This is a great song, I hope you stay strong, and there's nothing wrong if you like it. I certainly do hope you get through this. At least there are millions of You Tubers who like this song that you can relate to. Regards, The '62 Mathew St. 1-Man-Band (Total Retro Rock)
