Like You Do (Angel Taylor)

The song portrays the inner conflict of someone drawn to a person who treats them poorly, recognizing the unhealthy dynamic but feeling uniquely loved in the midst of it.

Despite the pain and feeling like a fool, the singer is captivated by the attention, suggesting a complex relationship dynamic.

Did you know?

The lyrics reveal a push-and-pull dynamic where the singer acknowledges the negative actions of their love interest (“Boy, you know it’s bad when you do that / But you don’t care”) yet remains drawn to them.

The lines “Holding out exactly what I want / But you won’t share” and “You’re messin’ around / I figured you out / You’re takin’ me down” highlight the manipulative nature of the relationship.

The repeated phrase “But I would be feelin’ it anyway / ‘Cause nobody loves me / Like you do” suggests a vulnerability and a sense of unique connection, even if it’s based on unhealthy patterns.

This complex mix of awareness and longing drives the emotional core of the song, showing the singer’s recognition of the situation and her inability to break free of it.
