Drake Feat Lykke Li Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hands down, I'm too proud for love
But with eyes shut, it's you I'm thinkin' of
But how we move from A to B, it can't be up to me
'Cause you don't know, who I was before you
I'd be losing, so I just ignore you, yeah
Oh, but you're on my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind, my mind
Oh, but maybe in time
In time, in time
I'll tell you I'm
A little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you
I guess that I'm a little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you (oh)
I know you told me break their hearts
But it's you I wanna take apart
And I will never ever be the first to say it
But still I, they know I, ah, ah, ah
I would do it, push a button
Pull a trigger, climb a mountain
Jump off a cliff, 'cause you're my baby
I love you, love you, a little bit
I would do it, you would say it
You would mean it, we could do it
It was you and I and only I, mm
Think I'm a little bit, little bit
A little bit in love with you
But only if you're a little bit, little bit
Little bit in la-la-la-la-love with me (oh, uh)
I hope they never find out (find out)
What they already know, know, know
As soon as it's official (official)
We'll have to let it go, go, go
So we don't confirm the fling
Keep avoiding all the questions (questions)
You could teach me many things
I'm just scared to learn a lesson (lesson)
The pressure's on, both hearts beat like a metronome
Both in sync like a Justin song
Feels so right but it's just so wrong
I wonder what my world 'bout
When niggas that I know tryna take my girl out
And her friends say I ain't the one to go for
She just jealous cause you always get approached more
Oh well, tell her fall back
Caught up in some more shit, tell her call back
Tell her get a man that ain't cheatin' on her ass
With a girl that I know, yeah tell her all that, that
And as for you, I think I know you're the one
The closest I've come
I'm probably a little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you
I guess that I'm a little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you (oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (la-la-la-la-la)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
The song "Little Bit" by Drake featuring Lykke Li is a tale of romantic uncertainty and vulnerability. The lyrics provide a glimpse into the internal struggles of someone who is hesitant to fully commit to love. The first verse establishes the singer's pride that makes it difficult to accept love, but also the intense desire they have for the person they're thinking of. The next lines reveal that the singer is conflicted about how to proceed in the relationship since they don't want to be the only one making moves. This leads to the chorus where the singer confesses their love but only if it's reciprocated by the other person. The following verse highlights the singer's willingness to let go of their inhibitions and emotional baggage for the sake of love, even if they're reluctant to be the first one to say it. The song's closing lines emphasize the singer's intense longing and desire for the other person.
Overall, "Little Bit" showcases the emotional complexity of romantic relationships, where two people must navigate their feelings and vulnerabilities to find a mutually satisfying connection.
Line by Line Meaning
Hands down, I'm too proud for love
I am not a person who easily admits to feeling love or needing someone else.
But with eyes shut, it's you I'm thinking of
Despite my unwillingness to admit it, I can't help but constantly think about you.
But how we move from A to B
However, the progression of our relationship is not something I can control alone.
It can't be up to me cause you don't know
I can't be the only one guiding this relationship, because I don't know if you feel the same.
Eye to eye, thigh to thigh, I let go
But when we're together, physically or emotionally, I am able to let go of my usual defenses and just be with you.
I think I'm a little bit, little bit
I believe I may be falling for you, at least a little bit,
A little bit in love with you
I am experiencing feelings of love towards you,
But only if you're a little bit, little bit
But I would only pursue this relationship if you feel the same way,
Little bit in love with me
If you too are experiencing some feelings of love for me.
And for you I keep my legs apart
I am willing to be patient and wait for you to make the first move when it comes to physical intimacy.
And forget about my tainted heart
I am willing to put aside any emotional baggage or past mistakes and focus on our relationship moving forward.
And I will never ever be the first to say it
I am afraid to express my love first, and will probably always wait for you to say it first.
But still I, you know I
But despite my fear, you should know that I,
I would do it
Am willing to take a risk and express my love for you,
Push a button, pull the trigger, pull a mountain, jump off a cliff
I am willing to do anything, even something illogical or dangerous, for you.
Cause you know baby, I love you, love you a little bit
Because I feel a little bit in love with you, and want you to know that.
You would do it, you would say it
I believe that you too feel the same way about me, and would take a risk to express it,
You would mean it, and we could do it
And that it would be genuine and heartfelt, allowing our relationship to move forward.
It was you and I, not only
Our relationship matters, and it's not just about my own feelings being expressed.
Come here, stay with me, stroke me by the hair
I want you to be physically close to me and show me affection,
Cause I would give anything, anything, to have you as my man
Because I want to be with you so badly that I would do anything to make it happen.
Little bit, little bit
Again, I am only expressing that my feelings for you are limited to a small extent,
A little bit in love with you
But they are still present, and growing stronger every day,
But only if you're a little bit, little bit
But again, I need to know that you too have at least some feelings for me,
Little bit in love with me
Before we can move our relationship to the next level.
Little bit
These feelings may be small at the moment, but they could grow into something much bigger,
Little bit
As long as we both are willing to take a chance.
Little bit
Little by little, we could fall more and more in love with each other,
Little bit, little bit
As long as we take things slow and communicate our feelings openly and honestly.
