Shape of You
Ed Sheeran [FazMusic.Net] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
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
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
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 bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
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
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
In Shape of You, Ed Sheeran is reflecting on his experience meeting someone outside of the traditional club scene. He prefers going to the bar with his friends, where he can have shots and drinks at a slower pace, allowing more time to connect with someone. When he meets someone he likes, he encourages them to put on the music of Van Morrison and dance with him. The chorus repeats the sentiment that he is in love with the shape of his partner's body, as well as their unique qualities that he discovers every day.
The second verse describes the progression of the relationship, as Ed and his partner go out on their first date and have conversations about both the good and bad aspects of life. They are thrifty, as evidenced by their choice of an all-you-can-eat restaurant, but Ed is clearly smitten with his partner: he compares their relationship to a magnet and can still smell them on his bedsheets the morning after. The bridge and outro implore his partner to come be his "baby" and express his love for their body and shape.

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
I don't think I'll meet someone I'd like to date at a club
So the bar is where I go
So, instead, I go to a bar
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
I'm with my friends, taking shots at a table
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
We're drinking quickly, but then we take our time to chat
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
If you come over and chat with only me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
I promise I'll give you a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
Take my hand, stop, and play Van Morrison on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like
After that, we start to dance, and I'm singing along to the music
Girl, you know I want your love
Girl, you know I want to be with you
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
You're the perfect match for me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
I might act a little wild, but it's just me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Don't talk too much, just focus on being with me
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Hold onto my waist and get close to me
I'm in love with the shape of you
I'm really attracted to your physical appearance
We push and pull like a magnet do
Our attraction to each other feels magnetic
Although my heart is falling too
Although I'm developing romantic feelings too
And last night you were in my room
Last night, you were with me in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Now my bedsheets have your scent on them
Every day discovering something brand new
Every day, I learn something new about you
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my significant other, come on
Every day discovering something brand new
Every day, I learn something new about you
I'm in love with the shape of you
I'm still really attracted to your physical appearance
