I LIKE IT
Gerry And The Pace Makers
(Murray)

I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I like the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let me come in
When your mama ain't there

I like it, I like it
I like the words you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you're winkin' your eye
And I know I like you
You know I like you

Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for

I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too
You're likin' it too

I'm askin' you
What do you want to do
Do you agree
That the world was made for you and me

I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too
You're likin' it too




Whoa-oh, I like it
Are you likin' it too

I love how Ed Sullivan was willing to go with times and bring younger generations their entertainment.

@@kaithomas7920 Im so sad about 5 minutes before i was listening to "I like it" then it came up on google and I couldn't stop crying 😭😭😭😭😭

@@jackwynnemusic2367 I can imagine how you feel. To me, it's a very strange thing, because I discovered Gerry and the Pacemakers just a few months ago. Their music was my soundtrack through the past weeks. While I'm writing this I'm listening to their great soundtrack album 'Ferry cross the Mersey'. And the movie itself is great, too. Just found it some weeks ago. Take care.
