Some like them hot,some like them cold.
Some like them when they're not to darn old
Some like them fat,some like them lean.
Some like them only at sweet sixteen.
Some like them dark,some like them light.
Some like them in the park,late at night.
Some like them fickle,some like them true,
But the time I like them is when they're like you
