Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin' 'bout you, for quite a while
You're on my mind everyday and every night
My every thought is you, the things you do
Seems so satisfying to me, I must confess it, girl
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I like it
You send chills up my spine every time I take one look at you
Ooh, and I like it
Girl, you're blowin' my mind with the things you say to me
[Bridge]
I like the way you comb your hair
And I like those stylish clothes you wear
It's just the little things you do
That show how much you really care
Like when I'm all alone with you
You know exactly what to do
You put that fire inside of me
And make it more than just a dream
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I like it
You send chills up my spine every time I take one look at you
Ooh, and I like it
Ooh, and I like it
[Verse 2]
Girl, let me run this by you, just one more time
You're on my mind every day and every night
My every thought is you, the things you do
Seems so satisfying to me, I must confess it, girl
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I like it
You send chills up my spine every time I take one look at you
Ooh, and I like it
Girl, you're blowin' my mind with the things you say to me
[Bridge]
I like the way you comb your hair
And I like those stylish clothes you wear
It's just the little things you do
That show how much you really care
Like when I'm all alone with you (I like it, I like it)
You know exactly what to do (I really, really like it)
You put that fire inside of me (I'm for it, adore it)
And make it more than just a dream (So come let me enjoy it)
[Repeat - x3]
I like it, I like it
I really, really like it
I'm for it, adore it
So come let me enjoy it
[Outro]
(Ooh, and I like it)
Ooh, I like it, ooh
(Ooh, and I like it)
I'm just tryin' to satisfy you, girl
You know I really like it
Say baby (Ooh, and I like it)
I like everything little thing you do
The way you comb your hair
And every little thing you do
It shows how much you care
Say baby, (Ooh, and I like it)
Every time I take one look at you
I get chills up and down my spine
And I like it, I like it, and I like it, (Ooh, and I like it)
And I like it, and I like it
Like it, like it, like it, like it
Like it, like it, like it, babe
(Ooh, and I like it)
What did you think of the song? Did you like it?
That Common joint brought me to the original. My moms wasn't really into this vibe in the 80's to get me hip lol. Of course that Grand Puba flip is unmistakable! Nice on @scuzzy

Thanks for having a listen!
one of my favorite samples/original cuts of all time. debarge ain't nothin to fuck with! SO SO many producers sampled the shit out of that single song. amazing how much longevity it's had...
No doubt! It's one of those songs where I rather listen to, then attempt to sample it. I appreciate you listening.
