Tim Mc Graw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I threw out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year
I'm gonna get fired, if I don't get some sleep
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in to deep
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
My Mama and Daddy tried to teach me courtesy
But it never sank in 'til that girl got a hold of me
Now I'm holding umbrellas and openin' up doors
I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweepin' my floors
Crossin' my fingers, and countin' every kiss
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard, I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
Got to wash my truck and dress up
To pick her up to watch TV
And she sits down on the sofa
She'll move a little closer
She can't get enough of me
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard, I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
The lyrics to Tim McGraw's "I Like It, I Love It" describe the intense feelings of infatuation and love the singer has for his partner. The song opens with the singer telling us about how he spent $48 on a teddy bear for his partner at the county fair, injuring himself in the process. He notes that she now has him calling her pet names, indicating a shift in his usual behavior. He is so consumed by his love for her that he hasn't been to a Braves game all year, despite his love for baseball.
The second verse speaks to the transformative power of love. The singer notes that he was raised to be polite and courteous, but he never really understood the importance of these traits until he met this girl. He now finds himself doing things like holding umbrellas for her and taking out the trash, tasks he never thought he would enjoy doing for someone else. He is completely enamored with her and prays that she feels the same way.
In the final verse, the singer is preparing to go out with his partner to watch TV, but notes that it takes a lot of effort to look good for her all the time. When they sit down to watch television, she moves closer to him, showing that she is just as infatuated with him as he is with her. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, emphasizes the singer's intense feelings of love, indicating that he wants to continue experiencing these emotions for a long time to come.
