"I Really Like You" (alternatively titled "I Like You") is a Sesame Street song performed by Maria in episode 0824.

After yelling at Big Bird when he ends up letting a kid's pet cat loose, Maria tries to reassure him that just because she was upset with his actions doesn't mean she hates him. She sings how people's feelings can change, and that close friends can remain close no matter what. All the while, a wounded Big Bird refuses to make eye contact with her but eventually the message is made clear, and Big Bird is relieved to know that Maria still cares for him.
