I Like the Likes of You
Enchanting Desires: Reveling in the Allure of You
Lyrics
Only last Saturday,
Reflecting on a recent Saturday or possibly yesterday
Or was it yesterday?
Uncertain about the specific timeframe
I was rehearsing a speech,
Recalling a speech preparation
Really, I think it's a peach!
Expressing admiration for the speech as excellent
Hope you don't think it's a breach
Hoping not to offend or violate etiquette
Of recognized etiquette,
Referring to established social norms
(I'm from Connecticut!)
Humorously mentioning Connecticut as her place of origin
You see the state I'm in,
Describing a difficult situation
I mean I'm in a mess!
Expressing being in a mess or dilemma
What was that speech?
Recalling the content of the speech
Oh yes, yes!
Affirming and confirming the content of the speech
I like the likes of you,
Expressing affection for a specific type of person
I like the things you do,
Admiring the actions or qualities of the person
I mean I like the likes of you!
Reiterating fondness for the mentioned type of person
I like you're eyes of blue,
Expressing admiration for the person's blue eyes
I think they're blue, don't you?
Seeking agreement about the color of the eyes
I mean I like your eyes of blue!
Reaffirming appreciation for the blue eyes
Oh dear, if I could only say what I mean,
Expressing difficulty in articulating thoughts
I mean if I could mean what I say,
Desiring sincerity and alignment between speech and thoughts
That is, I mean to say that I mean to say that,
Emphasizing the complexity of expressing intentions
I like the likes of you,
Repeating affection for a specific type of person
You're looks are pure de-luxe,
Complimenting the person's luxurious appearance
Looks like I like the likes of you!
Confirming the liking for the mentioned type of person
Oh dear, if I could only say what I mean,
Reiterating difficulty in expressing thoughts
I mean if I could mean what I say,
Expressing a desire for genuine communication
That is, I mean to say that I mean to say that,
Reemphasizing the challenge of conveying intentions
I like the likes of you,
Expressing affection for a specific type of person once more
You're looks are pure de-luxe,
Reaffirming admiration for the person's deluxe appearance
Looks like I like the likes of you!
Confirming the continued liking for the mentioned type of person
