I Like the Likes of You
Revel in Admiration: Embracing the Essence of Affection
Lyrics
Only last Saturday,
Reflecting on a recent time, possibly Saturday or yesterday.
Or was it yesterday?
Uncertain about the exact timing, possibly a recent event.
I was rehearsing a speech,
Engaged in practicing a speech.
Really, I think it's a peach!
Expressing admiration for the speech, describing it as excellent ("peach").
Hope you don't think it's a breach
Hoping the admiration isn't considered a breach of etiquette.
Of recognized etiquette,
Referring to recognized social customs, emphasizing her Connecticut origin.
(I'm from Connecticut!)
Humorously mentioning her home state in connection with etiquette.
You see the state I'm in,
Expressing a challenging emotional state.
I mean I'm in a mess!
Admitting to being in a mess, seeking clarity.
What was that speech?
Recalling the speech and confirming its importance.
Oh yes, yes!
Acknowledging and affirming the significance of the speech.
I like the likes of you,
Expressing fondness for the person being addressed.
I like the things you do,
Liking the actions and behaviors of the person.
I mean I like the likes of you!
Reiterating affection for the person.
I like you're eyes of blue,
Appreciating the blue color of the person's eyes.
I think they're blue, don't you?
Expressing uncertainty about the eye color but still liking it.
I mean I like your eyes of blue!
Reiterating the liking for the blue eyes.
Oh dear, if I could only say what I mean,
Expressing a desire to convey thoughts accurately.
I mean if I could mean what I say,
Expressing difficulty in conveying genuine meaning.
That is, I mean to say that I mean to say that,
Complicating the expression of intentions, perhaps playfully.
I like the likes of you,
Repeating the fondness for the person.
You're looks are pure de-luxe,
Complimenting the attractive appearance of the person.
Looks like I like the likes of you!
Confirming the liking for the person based on their looks.
Oh dear, if I could only say what I mean,
Reiterating the desire for clear communication.
I mean if I could mean what I say,
Repeating the difficulty in expressing genuine thoughts.
That is, I mean to say that I mean to say that,
Adding complexity to the expression of intentions.
I like the likes of you,
Expressing fondness once again for the person.
You're looks are pure de-luxe,
Reaffirming the person's attractive looks.
Looks like I like the likes of you!
Confirming the overall liking for the person based on their looks.
