[music]

[music]

The club isn't the best place to find

[music] a lover. So the bar is where I

go. Me and my friends at the [music]

table doing shots, drinking fast, and

then we talk slow. Then you come over

and start up a conversation with just me

and trust me, I'll give it a chance.

[music] Now take my hand, stop the man

on the jukebox. And then we start to

dance. [music] So now I'm singing like,

"Girl, you know I want your love. Your

love was handmade [music] for somebody

like me. Come on now, follow my lead. I

may be crazy, don't mind me. Say, boy,

let's not talk too much. [music] Grab on

my waist and put that body on me. Come

on now, follow my lead. Come, come now,

follow my lead. M

I'm in love with the shape of you.

[music] We push and pull like a magnet.

Although my heart is falling, too. I'm

in love with your body. [music] And last

night you were in my room. And now my

bed sheets smell like you. Everyday

discovering something brand [music] new.

Well, I'm in love with your body.

Why?

Well, I'm in love with your [music]

body.

I'm in love with your body.

I'm in [music] love with your body.

Every day discovering something brand

new. [music] I'm in love with the shape

of a weekend. We let the story begin.

We're going out on our first date.

[music] But you and me are thrifty. So

go all you can eat. Fill up your bag and

I fill up a plate. We talk for hours and

hours about the sweet [music] and the

sour and how your family is doing okay.

And even get in a taxi, kiss in [music]

the backseat. Tell the driver make the

radio play. And I'm singing like, "Girl,

you know I [music] want your love. Your

love was handmade for somebody like me.

Come on now, follow my lead. I may be

crazy, don't mind [music] me. Say, boy,

let's not talk too much. Grab on my

waist and put that body on me. Come
