LyricsEdit

Jeremy: All throughout history men fall in love with women

You want to know why, well, let's start from the beginning

I've come to set the record straight

I've come to set the record straight

From scientific propagation of the species

To poets and philosophers, your Baudelaires and Nietzsches

I've come to set the record straight

I've come to set the record straight

But if you're asking for specifics

Well this isn't hieroglyphics

If you want to know sincerely

Listen up, I'll tell you clearly

What I like about you is...

Candace: So, you were saying...?

Jeremy: Oh, yeah:

I've come to set the record straight

I see you still don't get it

But you really shouldn't sweat it

I'll say one more time with feeling

Here's the reason you're appealing

What I like about you is...

What I like about you is...

What I like about you is...

Background informationEdit

• As explained by songwriter Jon Colton Barry: "So we needed a song where Jeremy attempts to explain to Candace what exactly it is he likes about her. The idea was that every time he got to the answer, something would happen, some kind of mishap, that would prevent him from revealing the juicy part, much to Candace's frustration. I got this groovy little riff thing going on Garageband and starting building [sic] a song around it.... These lyrics may or may not be there when the episode airs. Same goes for Martin."^[1]
• As the line indicates, Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) were a poet and a philosopher, respectively.
• In England this song is named "What I Like About You".
