I like It
JLS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dunno why you don't wanna put that dress on?
And I dunno why you keep messing with your hair, no?
Maybe some guy made you feel insecure but
He was wrong and I am right, you're so beautiful tonight

Girl, you such a star, you got that fire
Burning in my heart all day, yeah, yeah, yeah
If only you knew how amazing you are
Then you would know how much I love you

Baby 'cause you don't need to try so hard
'Cause I'll be yours, you'll be mine
Oh, baby, can't you see the signs

I like the things you do to me
I like the way you make me feel
I'm liking everything I see
I like it, I like it, I like it

I dunno why you put on all that makeup?
'Cause I dunno anyone who compares
You're the prettiest, can be baby

The minute that you wake up
With the light in your eyes
Oh, baby girl, you got me blinded

Girl, you such a star, you got that fire
Burning in my heart all day, yeah, yeah, yeah
If only you knew how amazing you are
Then you would know how much I love you

Baby 'cause you don't need to try so hard
'Cause I'll be yours, you'll be mine
Oh, baby, can't you see the signs

I like the things you do to me
I like the way you make me feel
I'm liking everything I see, I like it
I like it, I like the way you turn me on

I think about you when you're gone
I'm liking everything I see
I like it, I like it, I like it

You, you got me through and through
Baby, I'm so in love with you I got it bad
Baby, you got me losing all my cool
This feelin' ain't so new, baby I like it, I like it, ooh

If only you knew how amazing you are
Then you would know how much I love you
Baby 'cause you don't need to try so hard
'Cause I'll be yours, you'll be mine
Oh, baby, can't you see the signs

I like the things you do to me
I like the way you make me feel
I'm liking everything I see, I like it
I like it, I like the way you turn me on

I think about you when you're gone




I'm liking everything I see
I like it, I like it, I like it
