[English]

A club isn't the best place to find a lover

So the bar is where I go (Mm)

Me and my friends at the table doin' shots

Drinkin' fast and then we talk slow (Mm)

And you come over and start up a conversation with just me

And trust me, I'll give it a chance now (Mm)

Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox

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

Girl, you know I want your love

Your love was handmade 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"

Grab on my waist and put that body on me

Come on now, follow my lead

Come, come on now, follow my lead, mm

I'm in love with the shape of you

We push and pull like a magnet do

Although my heart is fallin' too

I'm in love with your body

And last night, you were in my room

And now my bed sheets smell like you

Every day, discoverin' somethin' brand new

I'm in love with your body

Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I

I'm in love with your body

Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I

I'm in love with your body

Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I

I'm in love with your body

Every day, discoverin' somethin' brand new

I'm in love with the shape of you

One week in, we let the story begin

We're goin' out on our first date (Mm)

You and me are thrifty, so go all-you-can-eat

Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate (Mm)

We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour

And how your family is doin' okay (Mm)

And leave and get in a taxi, and 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 handmade 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"

Grab on my waist and put that body on me

Come on now, follow my lead

Come, come on now, follow my lead, mm

I'm in love with the shape of you

We push and pull like a magnet do

Although my heart is fallin' too

I'm in love with your body

And last night, you were in my room

And now my bed sheets smell like you

Every day, discoverin' somethin' brand new

Well, I'm in love with your body

Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I

I'm in love with your body

Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I

I'm in love with your body

Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I

I'm in love with your body

Every day, discoverin' somethin' brand new

I'm in love with the shape of you

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

I'm in love with the shape of you

We push and pull like a magnet do

Although my heart is fallin' too

I'm in love with your body

And last night, you were in my room

And now my bed sheets smell like you

Every day, discoverin' somethin' brand new

Well, I'm in love with your body

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

I'm in love with your body

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

I'm in love with your body

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

I'm in love with your body

Every day, discoverin' somethin' brand new

I'm in love with the shape of you
