Shape Of U Lyrics

[Intro]
Your love was handmade

[Verse 1]
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 then we talk slow
Come on 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, 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, girl, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come on now, follow my lead


[Chorus]
Boy-oy-oy-oy
I'm in love with your body
Boy-oy-oy-oy
With your body, with your body
Boy-oy-oy-oy
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of
[Breakdown]
Hey!
Sh-sh-sh-sh-shape of
Oh
With the shape of you
With the shape of
Hey!
Sh-sh-sh-sh-shape of
I'm in love with the shape of you

[Bridge]
(Your love was handmade)
(Your love was handmade for somebody like)

[Chorus]
Boy-oy-oy-oy
I'm in love with your body
Boy-oy-oy-oy
With your body, with your body
Boy-oy-oy-oy
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of

[Breakdown]
Hey!
Sh-sh-sh-sh-shape of
Oh
With the shape of you
With the shape of
Hey!
Sh-sh-sh-sh-shape of
I'm in love with the shape of you
[Outro]

I'm in love with your body

What did Alison Wonderland say about "Shape Of U"?
Genius Answer

This is one of my favorite tracks and I really wanted to remix it, but Ed Sheeran didn’t reply to my twitter when I asked to remix it! So then Naderi and I decided to cover it when I was in Australia with him ¯_(ツ)_/¯ It was really fun to recreate and I hope it makes you as happy as it does me.
