[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 ♪

♪ come over and start up a conversation with just me ♪

♪ And trust me I'll give it a chance now ♪

♪ Take my hand, stop ♪

♪ Put Van The Man on the jukebox ♪

♪ And then we start to dance ♪

♪ And now I'm singing like ♪

♪ Do 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 ♪

♪ I'm in love with the shape of you ♪

♪ We push and pull like a magnet do ♪

♪ Although my heart is falling too ♪

♪ I'm in love with your body ♪

♪ And last night you were in my room ♪

♪ And now my bedsheets smell like you ♪

♪ Every day discovering something 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 discovering something 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 ♪

♪ 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 family is doing okay ♪

♪ Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat ♪

♪ Tell the driver make the radio play ♪

♪ And I'm singing like♪

♪ Do you know I want your love ♪

♪ Your love was handmade for somebody like me ♪

♪ Come on now, follow my lead ♪
