[Feat. The Cataracs & DEV]

(This is what you call real puppy love)

[Chorus:]
Baby Iโ€ฒm not usually a shy dude
And I know that we date in high school
No more
It's just a little something that I wrote
(A love letter just a little love letter)
Saying hey girl I know you donโ€ฒt know me
But maybe we could chill sometime
Drink a little wine
You'll find
Everything you need is right in front of your eyes
Got me singing hey girl I know you don't know me
And I betcha get this all the time
But I canโ€ฒt lie
Every time you leave I wanna press rewind
Say hey hey hey
I love you
(Chica chica chica)
Hey hey hey
I love you

See what I was really trying to say was well um

[Verse 1:]
L-O-V-E is a four letter word
She got me looking for a better herb
Cause she getting highest
Higher than the clouds
On my flight to LA and Iโ€ฒm looking for the flyest
If love is a drug I just want to try it
One hit of her lips is like a coke diet
Can't eat, canโ€ฒt sleep
I can't sign this what I feel so deep
And my heart beats for her
And she donโ€ฒt want me
But all I need is time and time is money
And I'm a grown man just trying to be funny
But I guess this is about money
And cars, so I close my tab at the bar
So I close my tab at the bar
And just then she walked in
I had to to tell her

[Chorus:]
Baby Iโ€ฒm not usually a shy dude
And I know that we date in high school
No more
It's just a little something that I wrote
(A love letter just a little love letter)
Saying hey girl I know you don't know me
But maybe we could chill some time
Drink a little wine
Youโ€ฒll find
Everything you need is right in front of your eyes
Got me singing hey girl I know you donโ€ฒt know me
And I betcha get this all the time
But I can't lie
Every time you leave I wanna press rewind
Say hey hey hey
I love you
(Chica chica chica)
Hey hey hey
I love you

See what I was really trying to say was well um

[Verse 2:]
Sheโ€ฒs a saint I'm a sinner
She wanna drink wine, I got a vineyard
Iโ€ฒm straight but a little off centered
And it would mean the world if you wanted to enter
I let ya up inside my she could ride my (step)
Lady Gaga (oh) Shenana
I'm feeling good but I need her love
Cause when it all adds up
(Chica chica chica)
A plus
Iโ€ฒm just a regular guy
Who's getting paid
Every single day, dancing in the rain
Bitch I'm on and I want you
I even wrote this song just to flaunt you
I love you

[Chorus:]
Baby Iโ€ฒm not usually a shy dude
And I know that we date in high school
No more
Itโ€ฒs just a little something that I wrote
(A love letter just a little love letter)
Saying hey girl I know you don't know me
But maybe we could chill some time
Drink a little wine
Youโ€ฒll find
Everything you need is right in front of your eyes
Got me singing hey girl I know you don't know me
And I betcha get this all the time
But I canโ€ฒt lie
Every time you leave I wanna press rewind
Say hey hey hey
I love you
(Chica chica chica)
Hey hey hey
I love you
Say hey hey hey
I love you
(Chica chica chica)




Hey hey hey
I love you

Overall Meaning

The song "Love Letter" by Dev Feat. The Cataracs & Shwayze is about a guy who falls in love with a girl and the extent he would go to, to let her know how he feels. The song is written in a letter format and the chorus begins with the guy admitting that he's not usually a shy guy, but he still finds it hard to express his feelings for this girl. He offers to take her out to drink wine and get to know each other, saying that everything she needs is right in front of her. The verses follow the guy's internal conflict as he tries to deal with his feelings for the girl. He compares his love for her to a drug and confesses that he can't eat or sleep because of her, and how much his heart beats just for her. He admits that he's not perfect but he wants to be with her anyway.


The song's theme might sound simple, but the melody and instrumentation of the song make it stand out as a modern R&B and hip-hop masterpiece. The cataracs bring their unique style of high-pitched rap-singing to add flavor to the chorus, while Shwayze provides a verse that is full of double entendres and wordplay. "Love Letter" explores the universal theme of love and the lengths one can go to find it. The song's hypnotic beat and sung-spoken lyrics make it an easy tune to sing and dance along to, and it's popularity throughout the world makes it evident.
