You Are
Estelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every little
Every little

The first time
I met you
You were so quiet
And cool you
Never thought
That you
Would kiss my heart
The way you did
All of the sadness
In passing
Making me feel
Like I'm past it
But you really end
In the sweetest way

Oh
I'm so commended
By you
All in my music
All you
Do you keeps me
Surfing on the hook
That we can be
Together are you
I hope you
Listen to this
I hope you
Get to feel this
Because
Everything is you
Come on

Come close to me
Only your love
Can do me
Every little thing
I do you are
Baby you know
You're special
I don't care
What the rest do
Every little thing
I do you are

If love had a face
Then it's you
Made for me
How did you know
The best type of love
Who must have
Led you to hurt me
If there's anything
I can do
Let me know
I'll be a fool
But don't
Take advantage
Coz I will hate
To have to leave you
Your touch
Makes me feel
Like a woman
Takes me beyond
Feeling human
When you touch me
Oh
The smell of you
When we're alone
It's beautiful
Makes me to want
To leave you no
Everything is you

Come close to me
Only your love
Can do me

Every little thing
I do you are
Baby
You know
You're special
I don't care
What the rest do
Every little thing
I do you are

Come close to me
Only your love
Can do me
Every little thing
I do you are
Baby
You know
You're special
I don't care
What the rest do
Every little thing
I do you are

Ooh when your lying
Next to me
I can't believe
You're next to me
It's only us
In this moment
No interruptions
We focus

Tell you
I'm glad
I risked it
God knows
That I would
Have missed it

You're so amazing
Baby
Everything you do
Come close to me

Only your love
Everything
Little thing
I do you are
Baby
You know
You're special
I don't care
About the rest
Everything
Little thing
I do you are
Baby
Baby you are
Baby
You are




Baby you are
