"I Like It, I Love It"

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair
I throwed out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year
I'm gonna get fired if I don't get some sleep

My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in too deep

But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard
I can't rise about it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

My mama and daddy tried to teach me courtesy
But it never sank in 'til that girl got a hold of me
Now I'm holding umbrellas and openin' up doors
I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweepin' my floors
I'm Crossin' my fingers
And countin' every kiss
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this

'Cause I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard
I can't rise about it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

Got to wash my truck
And dress up
To pick her up to watch TV
And she sits down on the sofa
She'll move a little closer
She can't get enough of me

Yeah, and I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard
I can't rise above it

Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Whistle" by Lumidee Feat Wyclef is a love song that talks about the feeling of being addicted to the love of someone special. The first verse tells a story of the singer's experience at the county fair, where he spent $48 to win a teddy bear for the girl he loves, even though he dislocated his shoulder while throwing. He describes how the girl calls him loving names like sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear, and he can't help but love the way she makes him feel. Although he admits that he needs to get some sleep or risk getting fired, he finds himself drawn in too deep by the girl's love.

In the second verse, the singer talks about how his upbringing did not teach him to be courteous to women until the girl he loves got ahold of him. Now he takes care of her and does things for her like holding umbrellas, opening doors, and cleaning up after himself. He counts every kiss and hopes that the relationship will continue to flourish the way it is. He can't get enough of the girl's love, and he doesn't know what it is that makes him feel this way.

The chorus repeats the phrase "I like it, I love it, I want some more of it" to express the idea that the singer is consumed with the love he feels for his girl. She gives him a sense of joy that he wants more and more of, but he can't quite explain what it is that draws him to her.

Overall, "Whistle" is a catchy and upbeat love song that captures the feeling of being hooked on someone's love, even if you can't explain why.
