Love Will Do That To You
Ryan Follese Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rushing out of work at five
Staying in on Friday night
Burning dinner but at least you tried, in the candle light
Higher thread count in the sheets, bank account ain′t quite as deep
It makes her smile so you do it anyway

Love will do that to you
A kiss can wreck your world

You tell your friends you'll never change and then you
Meet that girl who makes you wanna be better than you′ve been
She drowns your checkered past and floods of hallelujahs
Love will do that to you
Love will do that to you

Humble cause you don't deserve her
Do anything so you never hurt her
Getting nervous when your fishing with her dad, yeah
It'll make you rethink everything you thought mattered
Yeah it′s got a way

Love will do that to you
A kiss can wreck your world
You tell your friends you′ll never change and then you
Meet that girl who makes you wanna be better than you've been
She drowns your checkered past and floods of hallelujahs
Love will do that to you
Love will do that to you

For the first time in your life every star aligns
And there ain′t no tomorrow without her by your side.

Oh, love will do that to you.
Love will do that to you
A kiss can wreck your world
You tell your friends you'll never change and then you
Meet that girl who makes you wanna be better than you′ve been
She drowns your checkered past and floods of hallelujahs

Love will do that to you
Love will do that to you
