I like It
Intrigue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pain,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
Crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears,
I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
Let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.




I'm a man and I got my pride
Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.

I really want to love
But I rather have the money
Coz I like it

It's just not enough
To say that you're in love
Wit money come the strength
The power of happiness
And I like it

Love can be cool
Sometimes you can be fooled
Money is in my eyes
You don't the reason whyyy

It's coz I like it

Money is the key
To perfect harmony
I like it

Your kisses are also sweet
But my wallet isn't complete
With money up my mind
I just don't have the time
To play your love game

Can't you understand
That in my point of view
Money is the thing
And is not the ...



I like it :)
