Like I Do
Lyrics:
[English]
Baby, I think of you
When I'm all alone and it's half past two
Bet you think about it too
Can't nobody love you like I do
Like I do
Baby, I think of you
When I'm all alone and it's half past two
Bet you think about it too
Can't nobody love you like I do
Like I do
Like, like I do
Like I do
Like, like I do
Like I do
...
Like I do
...
Baby, I think of you
When I'm all alone and it's half past two
Bet you think about it too
Can't nobody love you like I do
Like I do
Baby, I think of you
When I'm all alone and it's half past two
Bet you think about it too
Can't nobody love you like I do
Like I do
...
Like, like I do
Like I do
Like, like I do
Like I do
...
Like I do
Baby, I think of you
When I'm all alone and it's half past two
Bet you think about it too
Can't nobody love you like I do
...
