You call me up at six
Come ’round, undressing in my house again
Your T-shirt’s on the floor
Yeah, we’re undressing in my house again
You know just what I like
You call me up at six
Come ’round, undressing in my house again
Your T-shirt’s on the floor
Yeah, we’re undressing in my house again
You know just what I like
Used to come around, you’d be knockin’ on my front door
Playing board-games, horror films with the super gore
Thought that you were cute from the start
Yeah, I’m pretty sure
You were like the medicine, the medicine, I wanted more
All along, I wanted someone to vibe with
Found the guy I want the rest of my life with
Ha, we on some husband and wife shit
I don’t really care, ’cause I know that I like it
And when the clouds part open
When the last word is spoken
When the last heart’s been broken
We’ll be sitting on your bedroom floor still smoking
And when the clouds part open
When the last word is spoken
When the last heart’s been broken
We’ll be sitting on your bedroom floor still smoking
Smoking, smoking
You call me up at six
Come ’round, undressing in my house again
Your T-shirt’s on the floor
Yeah, we’re undressing in my house again
You know just what I like
You call me up at six
Come ’round, undressing in my house again
Your T-shirt’s on the floor
Yeah, we’re undressing in my house again
You know just what I like
Oh, now I got a plan
I hope you gonna be my man
I can see us cushy in the house right by the ocean sand
And when I wanna cry, I hope you’re gonna hold my hand
And when the shit goes down, I hope you’re gonna make a stand
This shit is super wild
This shit is super cool
This shit is kinda gangster
I think I’m into you
This shit is super wild
This shit is super cool
This shit is kinda gangster
I think I’m into you
You call me up at six
Come ’round, undressing in my house again
Your T-shirt’s on the floor
Yeah, we’re undressing in my house again
You know just what I like
You call me up at six
Come ’round, undressing in my house again
Your T-shirt’s on the floor
Yeah, we’re undressing in my house again
You know just what I like
Exploring the Intimacy in “What I Like”
Charli XCX’s “What I Like” is a playful celebration of intimacy, comfort, and the thrill of being with someone who truly understands you. The song captures the excitement of late-night rendezvous, where the simple act of undressing becomes a symbol of trust and vulnerability. Throughout the lyrics, Charli XCX paints a vivid picture of a budding romance that quickly grows into a deep connection, blending everyday moments with a sense of adventure and rebellion.
Building a Lasting Connection
The narrative goes beyond fleeting attraction, exploring dreams of a shared future and emotional support. References to board games, horror films, and plans for a cozy life by the ocean convey both the lighthearted and serious sides of the relationship. The recurring motif of “you know just what I like” underscores a unique bond built on understanding and shared desires.
