She likes it when I call in sick to work Spend the whole day hanging with her I might get fired but that's alright I'm doin' what she likes She likes it when I bring home fresh fajitas And mix up a pitcher of margaritas Catch a kind of buzz that lasts all night Doin' what she likes She likes hearin' how good she looks in them blue jeans Little kisses, sweeter than sweet tea Things I whispered in her ear, oh my I like doin' what she likes Like running my fingers through her long hair Lightin' watermelon candles upstairs Lettin' them burn and holdin' her all night I like doin' what she likes She likes it when I get past second gear Sees gravel flying in the rear view mirror Sometimes I'm pushing 95 Doin' what she likes And she likes it when I find a road that's dark Can we pull up somewhere and park? Turn the radio on and turn off the lights Keep doin' what she likes She likes hearin' how good she looks in them blue jeans Little kisses, sweeter than sweet tea Things I whispered in her ear, oh my I like doin' what she likes Like running my fingers through her long hair Lightin' watermelon candles upstairs Lettin' them burn and holdin' her all night I like doin' what she likes She likes it when I sing her old silly songs And throwin' words where they don't belong Sometimes we laugh 'til we almost cry Doin' what she likes Doin' what she likes She likes hearin' how good she looks in them blue jeans Little kisses, sweeter than sweet tea Things I whispered in her ear, oh my I like doin' what she likes Like running my fingers through her long hair Lightin' watermelon candles upstairs Lettin' them burn and holdin' her all night I like doin' what she likes Yeah, I like doin' what she likes Hmm, yeah
