Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't want to cramp your style
Still, you insist you want to settle down
But I know better, you can't change years over night
And asking that , I would never do
So here's the solution that comes to mind
[Chorus:]
you still can have your fun
whenever you need love
I will give it to you, just the way you like it
you keep your other girls
until you settle down
whenever you get bored
I will give it to you just the way you like it
Just the way you like it [Repeat x2]
If you plan on loving me for a lifetime
It doesn't matter what you do
With other girls, they just can't change your mind (oh no)
'cause when you tire of them, you'll come back to me
I won't tie you down
You can play around
'cause you know where the best love is found (right here)
[Chorus]
I'll be your number one
you still can have your fun
whenever you need love
I will give it to you, just the way you like it
you keep your other girls
until you settle down
whenever you get bored
I will give it to you just the way you like it
The lyrics of N.O.R.E. Featuring Pharrell's song Like The Way present a unique perspective on a romantic relationship. The singer acknowledges that their partner has been single for a long time and is not ready to settle down just yet, but they still want to be with them. The singer agrees to let their partner have their fun with other girls while they still provide the kind of love that their partner likes. The singer is confident that whenever their partner gets bored, they will come back to them for the best love they can find.
The song's lyrics seem to offer a "friends with benefits" arrangement in which the singer agrees to be their partner's number one and provide love whenever they need it. They even suggest that their partner can keep their other girls until they are ready to settle down. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not possessive or jealous, but rather open-minded and confident in their relationship. The song's message might be controversial to some, but it is also refreshing to see a non-judgmental approach to romantic relationships.
