Lyrically, this song could be seen as an erotic version of I’m With You. In both songs, the narrators are feeling lost, lonely, looking for companionship. In Give You What You Like, the narrator is willing to trade sex for that companionship.
It has been praised by critics for expanding Lavigne’s m...
[Verse 1]
Please wrap your drunken arms around me
And I'll let you call me yours tonight
'Cause slightly broken's just what I need
And if you give me what I want, then I'll give you what you like
Please tell me I'm your one and only
Or lie, and say at least tonight
I've got a brand new cure for lonely
And if you give me what I want, then I'll give you what you like
[Chorus]
When you turn off the lights, I get stars in my eyes
Is this love? Maybe someday
So don't turn on the lights
I'll give you what you like
[Verse 2]
Emotions aren't that hard to borrow
(Emotions aren't that hard to borrow)
When love's a word you've never learned
(When love's a word you've never learned)
And in a room of empty bottles
(In a room of empty bottles)
If you don't give me what I want, then you'll get what you deserve
[Chorus]
When you turn off the lights, I get stars in my eyes
Is this love? Maybe someday
I've got this scene in my head, I'm not sure how it ends
Is it love? Maybe one day
So don't turn on the lights
I'll give you what you like
(Give you what you like)
[Verse 3]
I'll give you one last chance to hold me
If you give me one last cigarette
By now, it's early in the morning
Now that I gave you what you want, all I want is to forget
[Chorus]
When you turn off the lights, I get stars in my eyes
Is this love? Maybe someday
I've got this scene in my head, I'm not sure how it ends
Is it love? Maybe one day
So don't turn on the lights
I'll give you what you like
(Give you what you like)
(What you like)

Avril commented on the song’s background during an interview with Glamour Magazine:
One day I was hungover, tired, vulnerable, and didn’t want to sing, but he (Chad Kroeger) made me go in on “Give You What You Like,” and do it anyway.
The rawness of my vocals comes across in the song, which made i...
