Because I Do

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you the other day
And you were dreaming and that's okay
I saw you the other day
You were sleepin' on a boat but that's okay

Because I do like you
I do like you today
I saw you the other day
And you were tearful but that's okay
Saw you the other day
And you were screaming with laughter but that's okay

Coz I do like you
I do like you today

Because I do like you
I do like you

Pa pa para pa pa pa (x3)
Pa pa

I saw you the other day
And you were drinking whisky but that's okay
And I saw you the other day
And you were falling all over but that's okay

Coz I do like you
I do like you today

Because I do like you
I do like you

I close my eyes
So I'm not seeing
I shut my ears
So I'm not hearin'
I close my eyes
So I'm not seein'
You're out of reach
And now I'm bleeding (x2)

I close my eyes
I close 'em

I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close them

Because I do like you
I do like you today

Because I do like you
I do like you





Pa pa para pa pa pa (x8)
