I Like
Men With Charm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say money is no object and we've got a car
They kidnapped Tony where did they go
They went to get it done before he got too old
They're incognito, they're into fame
They think they know it all you know their family's to blame
Isn't it funny, isn't it sad
But...
I like, when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know
I like, when it blows real hard and it doesn't even show
They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway
They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway
It makes you wonder 'bout the things they say
We are never gonna leave, we are never gonna stay
They talk for nothing, they talk for free
They talk behind your back and to you're face they're really sweet
Check out the language, check out the clothes
Their mother buys them shoes 'n where she get's them no-one knows
They go to parties to steal the show
By talking really loud 'n try to tell you what they know
But...
I like, when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know
I like, when it blows real hard and it doesn't even show
They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway
They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway
I like when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know
Say, I like when it blows real hard and it doesn't even show
Say, I like when they haven't seen a thing and try to tell you where to go
Say, I like when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know
What do they really know?
The lyrics to "I Like" by Men with Charm present a scathing critique of people who consider themselves to be of a higher social class. The song's opening lines suggest that these individuals put on a façade of wealth and status, but their true selves remain a mystery. The second verse implies that they are more interested in talking about their perceived knowledge and status than actually doing anything with it, and that they are quick to judge others. The chorus, with its repeated line "I like when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know," seems to sarcastically celebrate these people's behavior.
The song hints at a certain level of jealousy on the part of the singer towards these people, but ultimately concludes that their superficiality and lack of substance is not something to be envied. The lyrics suggest that true value comes from genuine experiences and relationships, rather than trying to impress others through displays of wealth and knowledge.
Overall, "I Like" is a deft commentary on the shallowness of social climbing and the importance of authenticity and meaningful connection.

I can rule the world with 1% of Juan's confidence.

I think you'll find that you can rule the world with 100% of Juan's looks, because his confidence is meaningless compared to his good looks. He isn't getting those girls because he is confident, that's for sure.
