I Like It
Sa.Du Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
I said I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said cant you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane
I said I know its only rock 'n' roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
I said I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it. I like it...
Sa.Du's song "I Like It" is a thrilling expression of his love for rock 'n' roll music. In the first verse, he asks if pouring his heart out on stage would satisfy the audience or make them think he's strange. He also wonders if singing a love song would be enough to win over someone with a cheating heart or if breaking down and crying would work better. The chorus repeats the phrase "I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it" and emphasizes the singer's preference for this genre of music, even if it seems absurd to some. In the second verse, he goes even further and suggests that he might consider suicide on stage if it would ease his pain or satisfy someone's teenage lust. He also invites the listeners to consider if they think he's insane for his passion for rock 'n' roll.
