Like You Mean It
Robin Schulz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I don't know if you're playing pretend
Where do we start, and where do we end?
Your fingertips, just joining with grace
Show me the truth, tell me to my face

Uh
Say you love me
Say you need me
Like you mean it
Like you mean it, uh
Say you love me
That you won't leave me
'Cause I don't believe it
I don't believe it

Kill my superstition please, I'm begging
Let the words roll of your tongue, I'm waiting
Say you love me
Say you need me
Like you mean it
Like you mean it (oh)

Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing this for
'Cause we're not the type to be insecure
I just never knew it could be this good
I'm acting crazy, not like I should

And I need to hear it, hear it, hear it
I need to hear it, hear it, hear it

Uh
Say you love me
Say you need me
Like you mean it
Like you mean it (oh)
Say you love me
That you won't leave me
'Cause I don't believe it
I don't believe it

(Like you mean it)
(Like you mean it)
(Like you mean it)
(Like you mean it)

Kill my superstition please, I'm begging
Let the words roll of your tongue, I'm waiting
Say you love me
Say you need me
Like you mean it
Like you mean it, oh

And I need to hear it, hear it, hear it
I need to hear it, hear it, hear it, uh
I need to hear it, hear it, hear it (I need to hear it)
Like you mean it (I need to hear it)
Like you mean it

Say you love me
Say you need me
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Say you love me
That you won't leave me
'Cause I don't believe it
I don't believe it

Kill my superstition please, I'm begging
Let the words roll of your tongue, I'm waiting
Say you love me
Say you need me
Like you mean it
Like you mean it, oh
