"Like I Do" is a song that was first released in 1962 by Nancy Sinatra. The melody is an adaptation of Amilcare Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours from La Gioconda. The song reached No. 2 in Italy, No. 4 in the Netherlands, No. 6 in Japan, and No. 8 in South Africa.

Later in 1962, Maureen Evans released a version of "Like I Do", which spent 18 weeks on the UK's Record Retailer chart, peaking at No. 3, while reaching No. 5 in Ireland, and No. 7 on New Zealand's "Lever Hit Parade".

In December 1962, Japanese pop duo The Peanuts released a version of the song, which was titled in Japanese "Lemon Kiss". The song retained a small portion of the song's original English language lyrics, but the Japanese lyrics, written by Minami Kazumi, were completely different.

Teresa Brewer released a version of the song titled "She'll Never, Never Love You (Like I Do)" in 1963. Brewer's version reached No. 122 on Billboard's "Bubbling Under the Hot 100".
