Like That
July For Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your eyes are burning through me
From there across the room
I try and not be too obvious
I won't speak too soon
It's the way the light falls on you
The way your skin is reflecting perfectly

Your hair falls on your shoulders
You're running your hands through
You take a drink of your diet coke
My mind is drinking you
I try and not be too obvious
You've got me thinking things I shouldn't be

I want to be I want to be a gentleman
Gentle as a saint for you
I want to be a gentleman
But you make it so hard to do

When you move
You move like that
You dress like that
You stare like that
You move like that
You dress like that
You stare like that
You move like that
You love like that

I want to tell you everything
I'll let you set the pace
You move a little, move a little
Until we're face to face
Don't worry about it baby
Everybody knows you're coming home with me

Your wrap your legs around me
I toss you on your back
I feel like I've waited a hundred years
To hear you breathing like that
It's the way the music holds you
The way we fit together perfectly

I want to be I want to be a gentleman
Gentle as a saint for you
I want to be a gentleman
But you make it so hard to do

When you move
You move like that
You dress like that
You stare like that
You move like that
You dress like that
You stare like that
You move like that
You love like that

Let's move this thing upstairs
I want to taste the skin you wear
It's the way you move
The things you do
And the way you move
The things you do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

When you move
You move like that
You dress like that
You stare like that
You move like that
You dress like that
You stare like that




You move like that
You love like that

Why is it they continuously play the live version of a song. Usually it sucks. And "Like That" sucks.  You can't understand what he's singing. Terrible.
