It's You I Like
Embrace Your True Self: It's You I Like by Benny Benack III
Lyrics
It's you I like,
Expresses a direct affirmation of affection and appreciation towards a specific person.
It's not the things you wear,
Highlights that the value isn't placed on material possessions or outward appearance.
It's not the way you do your hair
Emphasizes that personal grooming choices are not the basis for the affection expressed.
But it's you I like
Reiterates the central theme that the individual, not external factors, is liked.
The way you are right now,
Appreciates the person as they are in the present moment.
The way down deep inside you
Values the inner qualities and characteristics of the person.
Not the things that hide you,
Rejects superficial aspects that conceal the true self.
Not your toys
Dismisses material possessions as a significant factor in liking the person.
They're just beside you.
Downplays the importance of external objects, considering them secondary.
But it's you I like
Restates the central message, emphasizing the person over external attributes.
Every part of you.
Extends the appreciation to every aspect of the person's being.
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Lists specific features (skin, eyes, feelings) to encompass the entirety of the person.
Whether old or new.
Acknowledges the value of both past and present aspects of the person.
I hope that you'll remember
Expresses a desire for the person to recall the affirmation even in challenging times.
Even when you're feeling blue
Reiterates the enduring nature of the affection despite moments of sadness or melancholy.
That it's you I like,
Confirms once again that it is the individual, not external factors, that is liked.
It's you yourself
Specifies that the liking extends to the person themselves, not just their attributes.
It's you.
Reiterates the direct focus on the person without distraction.
It's you I like.
Finalizes the sentiment, emphasizing once more that it is the person who is liked.
