Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm mystery
Sometimes I'm free
Depending on my mood
Or my attitude
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wanna roll
Or stay at home
Walking contradiction
Guessing I'm factual and fiction
[Verse 3]
A little crazy, little sexy, little cool
Little rough around the edges but I keep it smooth
I'm always left of center and it's right where I belong
I'm the random minor notes you hear in major songs
[Verse 4]
And I like that
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't really give a fuck if I was just the only one who likes that
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
[Verse 5]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 6]
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
I like that
[Verse 7]
I don't care what I look like but I feel good
Better than amazing and better than I could
Told the whole world I'm the venom and the antidote
Take a different type a girl to keep the whole world afloat
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm crazy and I'm sexy and I'm cool
Little rough around the edges but I keep it smooth
I'm always left of center and that's right where I belong
I'm the random minor notes you hear in major songs
[Verse 9]
And I like that
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't really give a fuck if I was just the only one who likes that
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
[Verse 10]
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
I like that
[Verse 11]
I remember when you called me weird
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
We was in math class, third row, I was sittin' by you
Right before Mister Ammond's class
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause my mama couldn't afford new J's, polo
Thrift store, thrift clothes, that was all I knew
Do you remember?
[Verse 12]
Uh, I remember when you laughed
When I cut my perm off and you rated me a six
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was like, damn
(I like this shit, I like this shit)
But even back then with tears in my eyes
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I always knew I was the shit
[Verse 13]
I like that
(I like that, I like that)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I don't really give a fuck if I was just the only one who likes that
(I like that, I like that)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
(I like that)
[Verse 14]
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
(I like that)
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
(i like that)
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
I like that
I like that
I like that shit
