What does "like you do" mean?
Hello, everyone.
I've begun to notice that the phrase "like you do" is very common. Here's an example:
I’ll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do
What could it stand for? Thanks.

FallenOneWhen you fit me like you doFirst you need to parse it properly. The author is saying that his girlfriend is perfect for him. She "fits him."
You could expand it to this (although no one ever would) "When you fit me the way you fit me."
