[Intro]
I-I-I-I’ve been keepin’ to myself and stayin’ out the way
I’ve been always on my lonely ’cause I can’t change
I-I’ve been seein’ how they talkin’ and I’m outraged
I-I’ve been takin’ care …
Fuck your friendship, i don’t need your friendship
Then you go and take another, [?]
Fuck your friendship, i don’t need your friendship
Never saying what you want, now you’re saying i’m rude
Whatchu …
[Verse 1]
All roses, that you gave me when fought but babe you’re poison
Sorry if I speak my thoughts, I’m just fed up
Why you not?
I don’t know why I do this
Like …

(Ay, Benji, you know this one bangs, innit)

This introduction to the song reveals that 5 Seconds of Summer is performing a cover version of “What I Like About You,” originally composed by The Romantics and released in 1980.
This song is a tribute to girls, especially significant others.
A physical bond is part of a flourishing romance.
“Tell me I’m the only one” indicates that the guy desires words of affection from his beloved.
“Wanna come over tonight?” is a modest question that hints at the possibility of physical intimacy.
Whispering is a sign of affection.
That is, things that make him feel loved.
“That’s what I like about you” has become a timeless mantra celebrating cute girls.
When the guy’s girlfriend dances, he admires both her body and her spirit.
The only way she can keep him warm is by sleeping in the same bed with him, so a deep companionship is implied in this lyric.
“Alright” is an understatement characteristic of the 1980’s when this song was written.
The point of this song is not only to appreciate one’s girlfriend, but also to just have a good time enjoying a fun song.
