Staples, Mavis - I Like The Things About Me Lyrics

My little grand daughter is named "Mavis" after Mavis Staples! Great song and great message!

💛💛

Seriously just discovered her the other day. Guys hate me at the bar.

First time hearing them this morning, love them... God bless them, keep singing for the Lord. I like me too since Jesus set me free 😊

I love seeing Spencer on the drums!

Everything that comes out of the Loft is amazing!

Is this the staples singers song-I love this btw

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Psalms 139:14 KJV
This is why
I love the things
about me
that I used to despise.
If God loves me,
The way I am.
Why shouldn't I?
Yes, why shouldn't I?

music orgasm yeah baby yeah...fantastic song, everyone should play this when they wake up whatever time of day that may be, however not a good idea to blast it out early hours unless you want to piss the neighbours off 😉

just became my new favorite song of all time!

I love Mavis-she is iconic and i love her collaboration with Wilco my favorite band

Mrs. Mavis this is my new Anthem💋💋💋

I like this but I prefer the original with Pops Staple on lead.

The movie "Mavis!" (2015) is so great, real worth watching, very memorable.

I love this woman!

This song had a freshness to it I can't explain.

YOU ARE RIGHT , THIS SONG WOULD SOUND VERY DIFFERENT WITH ANOTHER SINGER .

This is, by far, my favorite song from this amazing album!

I just know @essie finch will like this.

This is fantastic

Happy 75th Birthday, Ms. Mavis.  (Yes, it was last week!:)
I could listen to you all day long. (Still)

this is fierce!

SANG IT MAVIS you can't get any better than this.

Perfection! You go Miss Lady. I hear and feel ya!

Seen Mavis last night in Milwaukee, she opened for robert cray, he should seriously think of hooking up with a lesser act because Mavis stole the show!!

Atmospherically bewitching. Rated by BBC Blues DJ as one of his favourite tracks of 2013 on his end of year show last night.

WELL PUT. THUMBS UP!!!!!!

bad ass

Great filthy low-end sound to this song

Kitten that would be a beautiful callabo ;)

I want to hear her and Jack White do a duet with this, they would shred it together!

Extraordinary song , one of the top songs this year

Huzzah!

oh YEAH!!!!!

I love the things about Mavis and her honest, true soul music . . .

Soo loving this..

Great song! Groovy as hell!! I like the things about me also

so cool

Fuck annotations

a great combination it would be Mavis Staples & Ben harper

Great tune!

She's one cool lady!!

STILL the QUEEN....!!!

daaaaaamn! music not dead!

i found out they are Donny Gerrard and Vicki Randle

I had no idea Yvonne Staples was a singer on this. I have no idea who the gentleman and lady singer is on the song...I did a search but I couldn't locate anything.

or Steve Jordan.

This is one of the, if not the best, song of 2013. Mavis, you my dear, are a treasure. Listening to a musician with so much depth and breadth of experience expel the past and take wonder in the evolution of character resonates to my core. I am not a spiritual man but your album is di-One True Vine.

This song fucking SUCKS DICK!!!

INCREIBLE! Así de fácil. <3

dont make fun of blind people, they just missed the like button

3 dislikes. Wow, some people don't know a good song when they hear one.

Good, but not close to the beauty of the version on the Wattstax soundtrack.

Not taking away from Spencer's drumming but I would love to see Brian or Brady Blade play some drums with Mavis.

à 71 ans et toujours la flamme

I only needed 27 seconds to add this to my favorites ... really nice!

this song is so sexy!

I like this living room too

The song is GREAT!!! I like it.

2 people have totally lost their taste and sense for good music!

i love the message of loving her skin and features-self love!

I'm SOOOOO in love with this record! Dammit...this is GREAT music!

Oh Mavis, if only I wasn't a married man!

the guitar... so heavy... gotta love this

the lady is kelly hogan, great singer, cool lady, sings a lot with neko case

Mavis Staples and Tom Waits on the same label. There is a God.

Yvonne was one of the singers on this? You wouldn't happen to know who the gentleman and the other lady singing was would you?

how good is this?

wow.

You would have to be allergic to music to not love this song

The anthem we need! Thank you Mavis and band!

Above all...To Thine Own Self Be True

So stoked for this album - can't wait! :)

I love me some Ms. Staples and the Staple Singers. This video is Awesome I love the behind the scene thing-y and I was so shocked and happy to see Yvonne Staples in the video as well. Mavis looks so cute with her Uggs boot and outfit...She really is an inspiration. :D

Oh so brilliant! It's like an easy to swallow pill of self-acceptance coated in honey and wrapped groovey blues-ness.

Fabulous.

Yeeeeeeaaah! It's great!

A home run!!!

Soulful, funky. Real music for those of us who prefer it that way. Love it!

Great 1st release from Mavis Staples' latest album. I saw her this past year on tour with Bonnie Raitt, and seeing Mavis was like finding a Church I could be faithful to!

This is great.

Mavis' groovy voice, a groovy behind the scenes video in the Wilco loft, and a groovy lick from father/son collab Jeff and Spencer Tweedy. What more could you ask for?
