Lyrics meaning

The speaker describes a growing attraction to someone and takes pleasure in small, affectionate moments together. The mood is playful and excited: repeated โ€œI like itโ€ sounds like an enthusiastic refrain, while the speakerโ€™s feelings seem to deepen as they spend more time together. They also want reassurance that the other person feels the same way.

Several details make the affection feel intimate and ordinary: fingers running through the speakerโ€™s hair, a playful tickle, and someone straightening their tie. โ€œDriving me insaneโ€ is an informal exaggeration meaning that the speaker feels intensely excited or overwhelmed, not that they are literally losing their mind. The line about coming in when the personโ€™s mother is absent hints at private time together, though the lyrics do not explain their ages or relationship.

The song presents attraction through teasing, touching, kissing, and a โ€œfunny feelingโ€ that is hard to describe. That phrase suggests nervous excitement or butterflies, but it could also simply mean the pleasure of being near someone. The repeated question, โ€œAre you liking it too?โ€, keeps a little uncertainty in the otherwise confident, cheerful tone: the speaker is eager, but still wants to know whether the affection is mutual.
