I like you
Ask me why

Because you make me laugh until I cry
Because you’re quiet, calm and shy
Because you feel the need to please
Because with you I get knobbly knees
Because your eyes are distant blue
And your smile is crooked too
Because my heart was flying around
and landed when it saw you on the ground

Because because because
that’s why I like you
