“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 If I am getting ready to pop a paper bag, then you are getting ready to jump 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 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 I can’t remember when I didn’t like you It must have been lonesome then Even if it was the 999th of July Even if it was August Even if it was way down at the bottom of November I would go on choosing you And you would go on choosing me Over and over again And that’s how it would happen every time
