  • I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like

    Up in the mornin' I'll be your coffee cup
    If you drink me down I will fill you up again
    And if you don't think that's enough
    I'll be the prize on the back of the cereal box
    And the key that you found that you thought that you lost and
    I'll be the why to your because

    Because I, I, I am not perfect
    But I, I, I, I know I'm worth it
    And I, I, I gotta believe, there has to be a you
    For every girl like me.

    I'll be the candy that feels like a firecracker pop
    And the toy on the cake with the chocolate top and
    And if you look a little closer
    I'll be the steam on the grate as it floats in the air
    Or the whisper you made from a secret you shared and
    Your favorite song that's never over

    Because I, I, I am not perfect
    But I, I, I, I know I'm worth it
    And I, I, I gotta believe, there has to be a you
    For every girl like me.

    I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like,
    Hot french fries and red balloon ties too
    Your hoodie hangin' down, the street lamp on the corner of a
    One way, one way or another gonna get you too
    Two times I take another look at the hat in the seat
    And the wrapper you found and the flavor beneath of the tootsie pop drop
    Don't stop 'cause I'll be your favorite

    Are you free tonight, stop by if you like, if you might want to
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    You will see it's me I believe you could be, be the right one you
    For every girl like me
    Lalalalalala like me
    And I, I, I
    Lalalalalalalalala like me
    I, I, I
    I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like (I, I, I) Writer/s: JENNIFER NETTLES, KRISTIAN BUSH
