I Like You, by Sandol Stoddard Warburg

I like you
And I know why
I like you because
You are a good person
To like

I like you because
When I tell you something special
You know it’s special
And you remember it
A long long time

You say remember when you told me
Something special
And both of us remember

When I think something is important
You think it’s important too
We have good ideas

When I say something funny
You laugh
I think I’m funny and
You think I’m funny too

You know how to be silly
That’s why I like you
Boy are you ever silly
I never met anybody sillier than me till I met you

I like you because
You know when it’s time to stop being silly
Maybe day after tomorrow
Maybe never
Oops too late
It’s quarter past silly

You really like me
And I really like you back
And you like me back
And I like you back

And that’s the way we keep on going
Every day

And I like you because
When I am feeling sad
You don’t always cheer me up right away

Sometimes it is better to be sad
You can’t stand the others being so googly and gaggly
every single minute
You want to think about things
It takes time

I like you because if I am mad at you
Then you are mad at me too
It’s awful when the other person isn’t
They are so nice and hoo-hoo you could just about punch them in the nose

I like you because
I don’t know why but
Everything that happens
Is nicer with you

I can’t remember when I didn’t like you

It must have been lonesome then

I like you because because because
I forget why I like you
But I do
So many reasons

On the Fourth of July
I like you because
It’s the Fourth of July
On the Fifth of July
I like you too

Even if it was the nine hundred and ninety-ninth of July
Even if it was August
Even if it was way down at the bottom of November
Even if it was no place particular in January

I would go on choosing you
And you would go on choosing me
Over and over again

That’s how it would happen every time
I don’t know why

I guess I don’t know why I like you really
Why do I like you
I guess I just like you
I guess I just like you

Because I like you
