I need more hours with you
You spent the weekend
Getting even, ooh ooh
We spent the late nights
Making things right, between us
But now it's all good baby
Roll that Backwood baby
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
I spent last night
On the last flight to you
Took a whole day up
Trying to get way up, ooh ooh
We spent the daylight
Trying to make things right between us
And now it's all good baby
Roll that Backwood baby
And play me close
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Maybe I'm thinking it's better if you drive

The lyrics of "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B are about the search for the perfect match. The song starts with the singer expressing the need to spend more time with someone they're interested in, and they acknowledge that some mistakes were made that needed fixing. However, they reassure their love interest that everything is ultimately good, and they should enjoy the moment by rolling up a joint and getting close. The chorus emphasizes the idea that although there might be differences between the two, they're ultimately drawn to each other.
In the second verse, the singer explains that they took drastic measures by taking a flight to see their love interest, and they spent the day trying to fix their relationship. Again, they mention the Backwood, a type of cigar, indicating that the two should relax and spend quality time together. Towards the end of the song, the singer admits that they have some issues, but they try to work through them, and ultimately, they need someone like their love interest.
Overall, the lyrics convey an image of two people with different lifestyles, trying to come together and form a relationship. Despite their differences, they find themselves drawn to each other, and ultimately, they need someone like the other person.
