I think I like you like that

I think I like you like that

I just might like you like that

I think I like you like that

...

I was thinking that you could think of leaving your toothbrush

I'm just saying there's no rush to go home

The way you're making my cheeks blush got me feeling like you just

Might be more than a small crush, now I know

...

We don't gotta be just a nighttime thing

Maybe we could see what the sunlight brings

All the other guys couldn't find where my heart is

Now I'm picking petals from gardens

...

I think I like you like that

I think I like you like that

I just might like you like that

I think I like you like that

...

Your jeans look pretty snug down there

That's quite the added bonus

You can see I'm hot for you

How nice of you to notice

Novels, books, and sonnets

Say we're on the same page

My tattoos aren't the only thing I want gripping my legs

And based off that perfect face

No, you're no making minimal range

I'm lost in you every day

When you say

...

I think I like you like that

I think I like you like that

I just might like you like that

I think I like you like that

A little kiss when you fill up 'bout that

...

Didn't see you coming, oh, I, I didn't see you coming

I'm feeling something, boy, I think I'm feeling something

Didn't see you coming, oh, I, I didn't see you coming

I'm feeling something, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

...

Is it gotta be just a nighttime thing?

Mmm-mmm

Is it gotta be just a nighttime thing?

I think I like you like that
