## Lyrics

**[Intro:]**
I've been goin' through some things (Oh)
I struggle with my inner man (Yeah, yeah)
I hustle, I'll do what I can to get this money **(Blaq Tuxedo)**
*Don Dada on the, Don Dada on the beat*

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**
Like you
Like you
Like you, ooh
I found it hard to find someone
Like you
Like you
Like you-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Send your location, come through

**[Post-Chorus: Doja Cat]**
I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like you?
I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like you?

**[Verse 1: Doja Cat]**
Baby, we tried to fight it
We all been there some days
Thought I needed something else
And acted like I was okay
We just had to work it out
And baby, I needed space
Ain't nobody 'round here on your level
You're so far away
You're pouring your heart out
I'm acting like I knew
You held me so down
So down I never grew, oh
I tried to find out
When none of them came through
And now I'm stuck in the middle
And baby had to pull me out, oh

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**
Like you
Like you
Like you, ooh
I found it hard to find someone
Like you
Like you
Like you-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Send your location, come through

**[Verse 2: Doja Cat]**
Yeah, damn, papa, you a rare breed, no comparing
And it's motherfuckin' scary
Tryna keep him 'cause I found him
Let a ho know I ain't motherfuckin' sharing
I could take you to the parents, then to Paris
Plan a motherfuckin' wedding
You the type I wanna marry (Yeah) and keep you merry
I'll put the ring on when you ready
We play our fantasies out in real life ways and
No Final Fantasy, can we end these games though?
You give me energy, make me feel lightweight (Woo)
Like the birds of a feather, baby (Woo), we real life made
For each other (Woo) and it's hard to keep my cool
When other bitches tryna get with my dude and
When other chickens tryna get in my coop
'Cause you're a one in a million, there ain't no man like you

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**
Like you
Like you
Like you, ooh
I found it hard to find someone
Like you
Like you
Like you-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Send your location, come through

**[Post-Chorus: Doja Cat]**
I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like you?
I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like you?
