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 its 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 its important too.
We have good ideas.
When I say something funny, you laugh.
I think I’m funny.
You think I’m funny too.
I like you because…
You know where I’m ticklish
And you don’t tickle me there
Except just a tiny bit.
Sometimes.
Stop!
But if you do, then I know where
To tickle you too.
You know how to be silly.
That’s why I like you.
Girl! Are you ever silly!
I never met anyone sillier than me
Till I met you.
I like you because…
You know when its time to stop
Being silly.
Maybe day after tomorrow.
Maybe never.
Oops! Too late!
Its quarter past silly.
We fool around the same way all the time.
Sometimes we don’t say a word.
We snurkle under fences,
We spy secret places.
If I’m a goofus on the roofus,
You are one too.
You can’t stand others being
So googly and goggly
Every single moment.
You want to know about things…
It takes time.
I like you because…
If I am mad at you
Then you get mad at me too.
Its awful when the other person isn’t.
Phooey!
They are just so nice and so hoo, hoo,
You could just punch them in the nose.
I like you because…
When I think I’m going to throw up
You don’t pretend you’re busy
Looking at the birds and all that.
You say: “Maybe it was Something you ate”.
You say: “That happened to me one time”.
And the same thing did.
If you find two four-leaf clovers,
You give me one.
If I find four, I give you two.
If we find only three, we keep looking.
Sometimes we have good luck,
And sometimes we don’t.
If I break my arm and if you break your arm too,
Then it’s lots of fun to have a broken arm.
You tell me about mine
And I tell you about yours.
We both are sorry.
We write names and draw pictures.
We show everybody
And they wish
They had broken arms too.
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 -
It’s the fourth of July
On the fifth of July.
And if you and I had some drums
And some horns and horses
And some fire engines,
we could be a holiday
we could be a celebration
We could be a whole parade.
See what I mean?
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 in 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 really like you.
Why do I like you???
I guess I like you…
I guess I really like you
BECAUSE I LIKE YOU.
