Like That
T.I.(티아이) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They read you Cinderella
You hoped it would come true
That one day your Prince Charming
Would come rescue you
You like romantic movies
You will never forget
The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet
All this time that you've been waiting
You don't have to wait no more

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that

I never make a promise I don't intend to keep
So when I say forever, forever's what I mean

I'm no Casanova but I swear this much is true
I'll be holdin' nothing back when it comes to you
You dream of love that's everlasting
Well baby open up your eyes

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that

You want tenderness-I got tenderness
And I see through to the heart of you




If you want a man who understands
You don't have to look very far

Overall Meaning

In T.I.'s song Like That, the lyrics narrate a love story where the singer wants to prove his devotion and love to his partner. The opening lines draw references to the fairy tale Cinderella, signifying the hope and longing of a perfect love story. The lines "That one day your Prince Charming, would come rescue you" indicate the desire to be saved from the mundane and the hope to find love that is both magical and perfect.


The chorus of the song reflects the singer's proposal of love, where he offers to be everything his partner needs. He promises to be there for her, move Heaven and Earth if needed, and love her unconditionally. He reiterates his sincerity and loyalty, saying he never makes a promise he cannot keep.


The last verse presents the singer's understanding of his partner's needs for tenderness, love, and understanding, and how he feels he can fulfill all of these.
