One thing I like about this song is that it's words acknowledge a girl's instant sexual pull toward a guy, too. No rules. THAT is the real deal. I feel it sometimes just standing next to a virile, confident guy, and it's awesome, and INSTINCTUAL! Now, whether we ACT on it, that's something else - but that sudden, deep ache "down under"? Makes me feel ALIVE - as does this song...

highlight lyrics to add meaning...

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 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

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

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
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new

Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
Oh, 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
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 family is doing okay
And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the back seat
Tell the driver make the radio play
And now I'm singing 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

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
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new

Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something 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 falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new

Oh, 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)
Oh, 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 discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you
