But I Like It
Lauren Sanderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She wanna be my baby
I wanna drive her crazy
We listen to "Cigarette Daydreams"
On the top of her dad's Mercedes

She wanna be my baby
I wanna drive her crazy
We listen to "Cigarette Daydreams"
On the top of her dad's Mercedes

I know you can feel it
And you know I can feel it too
She said "I wanna believe you
But I'm scared of the things you could do"
Let's take a walk on the water
Babe my heart's been so black and blue
But if the one thing's for sure though
It's that I want you

I'm feelin your thighs
You're my sweet Caroline
Oh my god I'm so hypnotized
Blurring the lines
Baby give me a sign
Girl I wanna make you mine

She wanna be my baby
I wanna drive her crazy
We listen to "Cigarette Daydreams"
On the top of her dad's Mercedes
All of my friends think I'm losing my mind
Trust me I do almost all of the time
Sometimes I want her so bad I could die

But I like it
But I like it
But I like it

Who are you?
With your hands on my neck babe
What to do?
Let's throw a party and no one's invited
'Cause you like to build up the tension
When you tell me that I'm on your mind
So I'm saying the things that you want me to
And I know that you like it

I'm feelin your thighs
You're my sweet Caroline
Oh my god I'm so hypnotized
Blurring the lines
Baby give me a sign
Girl I wanna make you mine

She wanna be my baby
I wanna drive her crazy
We listen to "Cigarette Daydreams"
On the top of her dad's Mercedes
All of my friends think I'm losing my mind
Trust me I do almost all of the time
Sometimes I want her so bad I could die

But I like it




But I like it
But I like it
