Our results show that the interactions of $B\bar{B}^*$, $B^*\bar{B}^*$, $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ states are attractive, which consequently result in $B\bar{B}^*$, $B^*\bar{B}^*$, $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ bound states. The recent observed exotic-like hadrons of $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ are, therefore in our approach, interpreted as loosely bound states of $B\bar{B}^*$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$, while X(3872) and Y(3940) are $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecule states, respectively. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.3959v1
