I′m a mess for you to clean up
Oh, I feel it coming
How we break so we can heal up
Oh, I feel it coming

Let me say, "Congratulations"
'Cause we got a good kinda heart
Don′t let it, don't let it change

We got our own kinda love

Oh, baby, that is what I like (Yup, yup)
Oh, baby, that is what I like (Yup, yup)
Oh, baby, that is what I like (Yup, yup)
Oh, baby, that is what I like (Yup, yup)

Breaking dishes all night
Fucking like we fight
Boy, you know I don't mind
Oh, baby, that is what I–
Scream and slamming the door
Still ending up on the floor
Boy, you know I don′t mind
Oh, baby, that is what I like

I don′t need to hear that sweet talk
Oh, I feel it coming, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause I love it when we real talk
Oh, I feel it coming

Let me say, "Congratulations"

Don't let it, don′t let it change
We got our own kinda love

Oh, baby, that is what I like (Yup, yup)

Overall Meaning

In Lisa Ajax's song "I Like," the lyrics express a feeling of being messy and broken, but also finding healing and love in it. The opening lines, "I'm a mess for you to clean up / Oh, I feel it coming / How we break so we can heal up / Oh, I feel it coming" evoke the idea of being broken and needing help, but also recognizing the potential for growth and healing. The chorus then celebrates the untraditional love that the singer and her partner share, with lines like "Breaking dishes all night / F***ing like we fight / Boy, you know I don't mind." The singer doesn't need sweet talk, because she loves when they have "real talk."

The song is ultimately about finding beauty in the chaos, accepting one's messiness and imperfections, and finding happiness and love where others may see chaos and dysfunction. The repeated "Oh, baby, that is what I like" reinforces this idea, while the bridge "We got a good kinda heart / We got our own kinda love," acknowledges that their love may not look like anybody else's, but that it works for them.

Overall, "I Like" celebrates the messiness of life and love, and how even in the chaos, there can be beauty and growth.
