Like I Like

Do it with that vibrato kiss
You know like when we were in the rain
Playing the game
That everything the other loved
We loved the same
Till everything & everyone
Drips itself out of sight
Into shadow & dull hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You know Baby
With a funky lil beat just right
Just right
there
Like I like
I know you know
To bring me through
You gotta hit it right
I know you know
Just what to do
You still know what I like
Play it with that rhythm to fast to follow
You know like when you think you hear something
Flash and fade to nothing
When all you love and all you hate
ALLY sing to you
Before they dissipate
I know you know
To bring me through
You gotta hit it right
Just right
there
Like I like
Play it like that long last note
That you can't believe you felt
Play it like that thing you wrote
& left me by myself
Play it like the tune you bled
Till it slowly died one night
Try to remember what you said
You know Baby
Play if for me
Just right
there
Like I like
I know you know
To bring me through
You gotta hit it right
I know you know
Just what to do
You still know what I like
Cry the words into the hollow
Of memories and haunting music
ALL HARD
Just like you used to do it
When you loved me so you'd like to die
When I loved you
& we said GOOD-BYE
I know you know
Just what to do
To save & end & save
My life
Do it Baby
Just right
there
Like I like
I know you know
To bring me through
You gotta hit it right
I know you know
Just what to do
You still know what I like
What is that you want from me
How do you think I fit
What kind of fool you think you see
Waiting to take the hit
Why do you keep on hanging on
To words that I used to say
How do the dead go banging on
A lifeless thing given way
Where do you think the love goes
When tested beyond repair
Look in my eyes and you will see
Baby...
A'int nothin there
I know you know
To bring me through
You gotta hit it right
I know you know
Just what to do
You still know what I like
Play it like that long last note
That you can't believe you felt
Play it like that thing you wrote
& left me by myself
Play it like the tune you bled
Till it slowly died one night
Try to remember what you said
You know Baby
Play if for me
Just right
there
Like I like
