Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said a shoo be do be do be
I mean a ru be do be do be
I mean a do be do be do be
Thats how you make me feel
I said a shoo be do be do be
I mean a ru be do be do be
I said I do be do be do be, love you
Three little words that you say to me
Three things you do are incredibly
Amazing, in every single way, yeah
Three little words you whisper in my ear
Three things you say when I'm fear
Don't worry, Don't run, Cause I am here

And you take my hand, and we run away
And wedance in the moonlight, and kiss in the rain
And you make me smile, all the time
And the little things you do,
Make me glad that you are mine

Three little things like openin the door
Sweet little things that no ones done before
These little things, make me love you more
Three little things and three little moves
You flirt up a storm, but you play it off smooth

You are the one guy, I'd never want to lose

And you take my hand, and we run away
And wedance in the moonlight, and kiss in the rain
And you make me smile, all the time
And the little things you do,
Make me glad that you are mine

I said a shoo be do be do be
I mean a ru be do be do be
I mean a do be do be do be
Thats how you make me feel
I said a shoo be do be do be
I mean a ru be do be do be
I said I do be do be do be, do love you

I said a shoo be do be do be
I mean a ru be ru be ru be do
I mean a do be do be do be do, love you
I said a shoo be do be do be
I mean a ru be ru be ru be do




I said I do be do be do be,
I do be love you

Actually she didnt Ed sheer an wrote the song little things when he was young. He than gave it to one direction. But that would've been awesome

I didn't expect this to be this good. You should be signed to a label. You're a good musician, yet simple. You're catchy as heck. And you are a GREAT lyricist. Good job, I hope to here you on the radio some time in the future.
