You Are
John Legend & Estelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every little
The first time
I met you
You were so quiet
And cool you
Never thought
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
Baby
The lyrics of John Legend and Estelle's song "You Are" describe the deep love and admiration the singer feels for their partner. The opening lines suggest a gradual, blossoming romance between two people who initially had little interaction. The lyrics continue to focus on the beauty and significance of the singer's partner. The chorus emphasizes the extent to which every little thing the singer does is impacted by their love for their partner.
The lyrics also convey the singer's vulnerability and fear of being hurt. The lines "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" suggest that the singer is willing to take a risk for love but is also cautious about being hurt. However, the overall message of the song is one of profound love and appreciation for the singer's partner.

Every little
Every small thing
Every little
Every small thing
The first time
The initial moment
I met you
I encountered you
You were so quiet
You were very reserved
And cool you
And very calm
Never thought
Never expected
That you
That you, as a person
Would kiss my heart
Would touch me deeply
The way you did
In the same way you did
All of the sadness
All of the pain
In passing
As something fleeting
Making me feel
Causing me to experience
Like I'm past it
As if I can move on from it
But you really end
But it actually amounts
In the sweetest way
To something very pleasant
Oh
Oh
I'm so commended
I feel very praised
By you
By you specifically
All in my music
Everything in my songs
All you
All you, all of who you are
Do you keeps me
What you do keeps me
Surfing on the hook
Keeps me engaged and hooked
That we can be
That we have the potential to be
Together are you
Together, you and I
I hope you
I wish that you
Listen to this
Hear these words
I hope you
I wish that you
Get to feel this
Get to experience this
Because
Because
Everything is you
Everything is about you
Come on
Let's go
Come close to me
Move towards me
Only your love
Only the love you give me
Can do me
Can satisfy me
Every little thing
Every small action
I do you are
Is you, is about you
Baby you know
You know, my baby
You're special
You are unique
I don't care
I'm not concerned
What the rest do
What others are doing
Every little thing
Every small action
I do you are
Is you, is about you
If love had a face
If love were a tangible object
Then it's you
Then it would be you
Made for me
Specifically designed for me
How did you know
How were you aware
The best type of love
The ideal kind of love
Who must have
Who could have
Led you to hurt me
Influenced you to harm me
If there's anything
If there is something
I can do
I am able to do
Let me know
Tell me
I'll be a fool
I am willing to be foolish
But don't
But please don't
Take advantage
Exploit me
Coz I will hate
Because I will detest
To have to leave you
To have to depart from you
Your touch
The sensation of your physical contact
Makes me feel
Causes me to experience
Like a woman
Like a feminine individual
Takes me beyond
Transports me further
Feeling human
The sensation of being a human being
When you touch me
When you physically contact me
Oh
Oh
The smell of you
The scent of you
When we're alone
When it's just the two of us
It's beautiful
It's lovely
Makes me to want
Causes me to desire
To leave you no
To not want to let you go
Everything is you
Everything is about you
Ooh when your lying
When you're reclining
Next to me
Beside me
I can't believe
I cannot fathom
You're next to me
That you are physically adjacent to me
It's only us
There is only us
In this moment
At this time
No interruptions
Without external distraction
We focus
We concentrate
Tell you
I will inform you
I'm glad
I am happy
I risked it
I took a chance
God knows
The deity is aware
That I would
That I was likely to
Have missed it
Have lost the opportunity
You're so amazing
You are incredibly impressive
Baby
My darling
Everything you do
All of your actions
Come close to me
Move towards me
Only your love
Only the love you give me
Every little thing
Every small action
I do you are
Is you, is about you
Baby you know
You know, my baby
You're special
You are unique
I don't care
I'm not concerned
About the rest
About others
Baby
My darling
Everything
Everything
Little thing
Small action
I do you are
Is you, is about you
Baby
My darling
You are
You are
Baby you are
You are, my darling
