[Verse]
[E] [A] [D] [A]

Hey, ah-a-ha    x 2

What I like about you
You hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
One that's comin' over tonight


[Chorus]
Keep on whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
'Cause that's true          (What I like about you)
That's what I like about you        (What I like about you)


[Verse]
What I like about you
You really know how to dance
When you go up, down, jump around
Think about true romance
Yeah


[Chorus]
That's what I like about you        (What I like about you)
That's what I like about you        (What I like about you)

Wow

[Break] [G] [D] [G] [A] [B]
Hey


[Verse]
What I like about you
You keep me warm at night
Never wanna let you go
Know you make me feel alright
Yeah


[Chorus]
That's what I like about you        (What I like about you)
That's what I like about you        (What I like about you)


Whispered:
That's what I like about you x 3        (What I like)
That's what I like about you        (What I like about you)
Hey, ah-A-ha
Hey x 3
Hey !       (all)
Ah-A-ha, Brrrrr, hey, ah-A-ha
Hey !       (all)
