Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make my hair a mess
I'm not wearing make-up
You say I look my best
You got that realness
You're so beautiful
Never wanna leave this bed
It's the little things you do that make me want you
And the not so little things that make me need you
Just one look, and I'm dropping jaws
Just one touch, and I'm slamming doors
'Cause it's the little things you're doing that make me love you
Little things
Little things
Little things
And the not so little things
You know you're not like my men away
You make me feel safer with every word you say
You give me the whole world, I open up to you
Never wanna leave this bed
Got to get it off my chest
It's the little things you do that make me want you
And the not so little things that make me need you
Just one look, and I'm dropping jaws
Just one touch, and I'm slamming doors
'Cause it's the little things you're doing that make me love you
Keep on doing what you're doing
Please don't ever stop
I'll keep doing what I'm doing
Put my love on top
Keep on doing what you're doing
Please don't ever stop
I'll keep doing what I'm doing
Put my love on top
It's the little things you do that make me want you
And the not so little things that make me need you
Just one look, and I'm dropping jaws
Just one touch, and I'm slamming doors
'Cause it's the little things you're doing that make me love you
Little things
Little things
Little things
And the not so little things
Little things
Little things
Little things
And the not so little thing

As a guy who comes from a background of nu metal, classic rock, heavy metal, grindcore, progressive metal, and Rammstein, I must say this was probably the best (pop?) song I've heard in a long time, maybe ever. All in all, you deserve a spot on the charts with this one.
