Like It
Yinon Yahel feat. Maya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way that you want it be
The way it would torch me
I run away from every jeopardy
Hoping for mind purity
Just how the hell I got here
Going underneath
Clenching my teeth
(It's just the way you like it)
(Ohh)
(You like it)
(Like it)
Just fade away
From my painful memory
From this stupid galaxy
Want to maintain
My personal happiness
I'll do it when you're not here
Being responsible
Kinda impossible
Got traumatized by you
That's what you never knew
Going underneath
Clenching my teeth
Melting of the heat
It's just the way you like it
(It's just the way you like it)
(Ohh)
(You like it)
(It's just the way you like it)
You fucking like it
I fucking hate you
I lived without it
And now I have you
Where did you come from?
Could you just go home
Manipulation
You can't without it
You just like it
The way you always like it
(Like it, like it)
