I Like It Lyrics By Stray Kids

[Intro]
Woo

[Refrain: Seungmin]
Cops and robbers chase each other, full of energy
Pushing me further, pulling me closer, some sort of chemistry
I think I'm addicted to the title, "You and me"
Don't ask, "What are we?" Ooh, ooh, I like it, baby

[Verse 1: Changbin, Felix]
이 관계를 정의하지 마
사랑은 모르겠고 좋아하는 사이
간단히 점선과 실선의 차이
알잖아 지금 내가 말하는 vibe (Hey)
넘고 싶음 넘어 근데 난 안 넘어
지금이 더 좋을 거니까
서로 부담은 덜고 지금처럼 걸어
상처도 덜할 테니까

[Chorus: Lee Know, Bang Chan, Hyunjin]
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
'Cause it's enough, enough, keep it this way
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
Yeah, I love that, I like you, but I don't wanna love
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Love that I like you, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Han, Hyunjin]
진전 없이 just stay tuned
예고편이 제일 재미있거든
어떤 식의 역할극이든
잠깐 발 담고 빼지 no reason
진심은, no thanks, so keep it
진실은 언제나 too deep해
한 발 오면 두 발 도망가지
작전 없는 사이 I want it

[Refrain: Bang Chan]
Still got so much to find out, we playing Hide and Seek
Don't wanna end this game, hope it goes for eternity
Let's not go official, we can keep the "You and me"
Don't ask, "What are we?" Ooh, ooh, I like it, baby

[Pre-Chorus: I.N, Lee Know, Felix]
Oh, 서로 가까워졌다가도
Oh, 먼발치 물러서는
우리 섣불리 착각 않길
Yeah, I love that I like you, but I don't wanna love

[Chorus: I.N, Seungmin, Changbin]
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
'Cause it's enough, enough, keep it this way
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
Yeah, I love that, I like you, but I don't wanna love
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Love that I like you, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro: Hyunjin, Felix]
I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it

[Refrain: Seungmin]
In this section, the lyrics reflect a sense of excitement and contentment with the existing dynamic of the relationship. The mention of "cops and robbers" symbolizes the playful and energetic nature of their interactions, while the phrase "I think I'm addicted to the title, 'You and me'" indicates a comfortable attachment to the current state of their relationship. The repeated affirmation "I like it" underscores their satisfaction with how things are.

[Verse 1: Changbin, Felix]
This verse explores the ambiguity and simplicity of their relationship. The lyrics suggest avoiding the need to define their bond as "love," instead embracing their current connection as something enjoyable and uncomplicated. The distinction between "dotted line" and "solid line" metaphorically represents the choice to remain in a less defined, more fluid state rather than committing to something more formal.

[Chorus: Lee Know, Bang Chan, Hyunjin]
The chorus reinforces the idea of appreciating the present feeling of their relationship. It highlights their desire to continue enjoying the current dynamic without rushing into a deeper commitment. The repetition of "I love that, I like you, but I don't wanna love" emphasizes their satisfaction with the status quo and their reluctance to change it.

[Verse 2: Han, Hyunjin]
In this verse, the lyrics express a preference for keeping their relationship in a state of anticipation and excitement. The mention of "previews" and "role-playing" signifies the fun and temporary nature of their interactions, while rejecting deeper involvement. The focus is on maintaining the thrill and avoiding the complexities that come with deeper emotional engagement.

[Refrain: Bang Chan]
This section echoes the earlier sentiments of enjoying the current state of their relationship. The lyrics convey a desire to prolong the playful, exploratory nature of their bond without moving towards a more formal label. The idea of playing "Hide and Seek" symbolizes the ongoing discovery and enjoyment within their relationship.

[Pre-Chorus: I.N, Lee Know, Felix]
The pre-chorus addresses the fluctuating closeness and distance between them. It reflects the careful balance they maintain to avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations. The focus remains on keeping their connection enjoyable and uncomplicated, reinforcing their reluctance to define or formalize it.

[Outro: Hyunjin, Felix]
The outro reiterates the central theme of the song by emphasizing their continued enjoyment of the relationship. The repeated phrase "I like it" affirms their satisfaction with the present dynamic and their reluctance to change it, highlighting the pleasure they find in keeping things as they are.
