[English]

The club isn't the best place to find a lover So the bar is where I go

Me and my friends at the table doing shots Drinking fast and then we talk slow

And you come over and start up a conver sation with just me And trust me I'll give it a chance now

Take my hand, stop Put Van the Man on the juke box

And then we start to dance And now I'm singin' like

Girl, you know I want your love Your love was hand made for some body like me

Come on now, follow my lead I may be cra zy, don't mind me

Say, "Boy, let's not talk too much Grab on my waist and put that body on me"

Come on now, follow my lead Come, come on now, follow my lead, mm- mm- mmm

I'm in love with the shape of you We push and pull like a mag net do

Although my heart is fal ling too I'm in love with your bo dy

And last night you were in my room And now my bed sheets smell like you

Every day dis covering some thing brand new Well, I'm in love with your bo dy

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I I'm in love with your bo dy

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I I'm in love with your bo dy

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I I'm in love with your bo dy

Every day discove ring some thing brand new I'm in love with the shape of you

One week in, we let the story begin We're going out on our first date

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 and the sour And how your fami ly's doing okay

And leave and get in a ta xi We kiss in the back seat

Tell the driver make the radio play And I'm singin' like

Girl, you know I want your love Your love was hand made for some body like me

Come on now, follow my lead I may be cra zy, don't mind me

Say, "Boy, let's not talk too much Grab on my waist and put that body on me"

Come on now, follow my lead Come, come on now, follow my lead, mm- mm- mmm

I'm in love with the shape of you We push and pull like a mag net do

Although my heart is falling too I'm in love with your bo dy

And last night you were in my room And now my bed sheets smell like you

Every day disco vering some thing brand new Well, I'm in love with your bo dy

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I I'm in love with your bo dy
