I Like It
RAINBOW feat. Will Boulware Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Can be like you, I can be like you yeah
I Can walk like you, I'm walking my heart out
I can dance like you, can you see my dance moves
I can run like you, my heartbeat's pounding

If I try, with all my might
To reach up, way up to the sky
I know I, can shine, as bright as you shine
If I try, with all my might
To reach up, way up to the sky
I know I, can shine, as bright as you shine

I can swim like you, I'm swimming in the river
I can talk like you, I'm yapping my mouth out
I can smile like you, can you feel my sunshine
I can love like you, I'm sending my love right at you

If I try, with all my might
To reach up, way up to the sky
I know I, can shine, as bright as you shine
If I try, with all my might
To reach up, way up to the sky
I know I, can shine, as bright as you shine

I look up to you, I think the world of you
I look up to you, I think the world of you
I look up to you, I think the world of you




I look up to you, I think the world of you
The world of you
