"Like Lovers Do" is a song by English singer, songwriter and musician Lloyd Cole, released in 1995 as the lead single from his fourth studio album Love Story.

"[3] Upon its release as a single, Music & Media wrote, "Cole is one of those rare artists who can let time stand still and yet manage to move on.

"[4] Gordon Barr of the Newcastle Evening Chronicle gave the song a 7 out of 10 rating and stated, "The voice is instantly recognisable and the tune's not half bad either.

If the rest of his new album is up to the same standard, he should make his way back into the forefront of the British music scene with considerable ease.

"[6] Johnny Cigarettes of NME was negative in his review, writing, "This one jangles along tastefully enough, with the obligatory wordy lyrics and Lloyd's vaguely smoky twang failing to paper over the complete and utter lack of any passion, interest, or indeed tune.
