Lyrics


I Like It

Note: Lyrics are representative of the version as performed by Depeche Mode.


I like it, I like it

I like the way you run your fingers through my hair

And I like the way you tickle my chin

And I like the way you let yourself in

When your mama's not there


I like it, I like it

I like the things you say and all the things you do

And I like the way you straighten my tie

And I like the way you're winkin' your eye

And I know I like you, and I know I like you


Do that again

You're driving me insane

Kiss me once more

That's another thing I like you for


I like it, I like it

I like the funny feeling being here with you

And I like it more with every day

And I like it always hearing you say

You're likin' it too, you're likin' it too


Do that again

You're driving me insane

Kiss me once more

That's another thing I like you for


I like it, I like it

I like the funny feeling being here with you

And I like it more with every day

And I like it always hearing you say

You're likin' it too, you're likin' it too


Whoa oh, I like it

Are you likin' it too?
