I'm kinda open to what you want
A penny fortune for your thoughts
or whatever else you'll whisper in my ear
I call you up to be so heard
I was allowed to be absurd
you were the last and best of all I had, I swear

I kinda like you in my soul
I kinda like you for my selfish ways
I kinda wonder what makes you tick inside

A blurry vision of what you want
A thousand words rush through my thoughts
but only one will make the light dim like it does
I know it can't be right
by the darkest side of your sound
too old to feel this way, too young to get away

I kinda like you in my soul
I kinda like you for my selfish ways
I kinda wonder what makes you tick inside
I kinda like it when we get close
when you're around I lose my self control
I kinda like it when you are wrapped in tight

Dance for me, seductively
I'll touch from your lips to the corners of your hips
the words have been spoken, the battle's been broken

I kinda like you in my soul
I kinda like you for my selfish ways
I kinda wonder what makes you tick inside
I kinda like it when we get close
when you're around I lose my self control
I kinda like it when you are wrapped in tight

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
