It's your boy (oh)
Daddy Yankee
All my Latinos stand up (oh)
Marcando la historia
Caminen conmigo en esta (ooh-ooh-oh)
Holla back
You know how we do, man
'Cause you're the only one for me
(All I want is a girl like you)
It's the way that you make me feel
(All I want is a girl like you)
'Cause you're the only one for me
(All I want is a girl like you)
It's the way that you make me feel
(All I want is a girl like you)
Straight up you're so badass, baby you hot
In the hood you feel the tension when you walk down the block
That's the reason you in my head, believe it or not
Me and you can run the world like Big Pun and Pac
'Cause you my main homie, my main shawty
Cock back hammers and bang, homie
Protecting our gauge slowly
With a girl like you, forget the nonsense
We don't give a fuck about the chicos and gossip (Dile)
Daddy Yankee, you shining right now
Come on, cap me now, I got this game locked down
What you know about big things, chrome wheels, own deals
Me and you holding it down, it's all real
Come on!
'Cause you're the only one for me
(All I want is a girl like you)
It's the way that you make me feel
(All I want is a girl like you)
'Cause you're the only one for me

It's the way that you make me feel
(All I want is a girl like you)
Yo
La negra tiene tumbao
Cuando camina de lado
Por la calle ocho sin miedo, we be wildin' out
Switching lanes on the freeway corriendo por miles
A little foreplay like Bonnie and Clyde in da crimen
Touching you is not a felony
How am I a player ma'
Do I look like Bill Bellamy
No te molestes yo soy tuyo na' más, hah
I'm not a player, I just crush a lot
Come on!
Tú eres la chica ideal para mí
(All I want is a girl like you)
Como tú nadie me a hecho sentir
(All I want is a girl like you)
'Cause you're the only one for me
(All I want is a girl like you)
It's the way that you make me feel
(All I want is a girl like you)
Oh oh oh

In Daddy Yankee's "Like U," he expresses his desire for a girl who he considers his perfect match. He reflects on her personality and physical features, praising her confidence and beauty, while reassuring her that they are meant to be together. Although there are numerous men chasing her, he is the only one who can make her feel special, and he offers her a chance to be with him. The song has a catchy beat, with a mix of Spanish and English lyrics.
The first verse focuses on the girl's beauty, referring to her as "badass" and noting the attention she receives when walking down the street. Yankee admits that she has captivated him, and he sees her as his partner, calling her "main homie" and "main shawty." He implies that they are a powerful duo who can rule the world, similar to the late hip-hop legends Big Pun and Tupac.
In the second verse, Yankee highlights the girl's confidence and assures her that she stands out from others. He compares her to the late salsa singer Celia Cruz, who was known for her unique voice and dance style. Yankee also notes that he is not a player, but rather, someone who has a serious interest in her. Through the chorus and repetition, Yankee emphasizes that he wants the girl to be with him because she is the only one who can make him feel the way he does.
