[English]

[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 table doing

shots, tripping fast, and then we

[music] talk slow. Come over and start

up a conversation with just me. And

trust me, I'll give it a chance. [music]

Now take my hands, stop, preend the man

on the jukebox. And then we start to

dance. So now I'm singing like, "Girl,

you know I want [music] your love. Your

love was handmade for somebody like me.

Come on now, follow my lead.

[music and singing] I may be crazy,

don't mind me. Say, boy, let's not talk

too much. [music] Grab on my waist and

put that [singing] 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. Every day

discovering something brand [music] new.

Well, I'm in love with your body.

[singing]

Why?

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

body.

I'm in love with your body.

Every day discovering something brand

new. I'm in love with the shape of a

[music] weekend. We let the story begin.

We're going out on our first date. But

you and me are thrifty. [singing] 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 family [music] is doing okay.

And even get in the taxi, kiss in the

backseat till 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
