Shape Of You Lyrics

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance...

    This song is obviously not about love but only about physical attraction. Sheeran is obsessed with a persons body but completely ignores her soul which makes the song rather creepy than romantic.

    This is about Ed Sheeran loving a girls body so much that he wants to make love to her. I kinda see Ed like a stalker in this song. I mean it’s not about someone’s body, it’s about someone’s soul and Ed is completely ignoring the girls aditude and just keeps wanting her body

    It is about anyone, even the most sensitive and romantic people (like Ed), who are some times attracted mainly physically, "although my heart is falling too", right now I mainly see your body. I think it does not mean there is no emotional aspect to the relationship, but the lucky person is sexy in a very good way :)

    Its about an Ian Gallagher look-a-like who is obsessed with a girls body because he is sex deprived.

    I think they obviously meet at the bar and hook up.. maybe a one night stand, or maybe it turns into a new love "affair" because he says something about "how's your family" so to me that's suggesting some skantless s***???

    He is of course in love with her body and loves her for that reason. But, I don't think that the only reason he sings this song with lyrics like this is just because of her body. I think that this song is not just about her body, but more so like how much someone can like a person just because of their physical appearance. This is like Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, just that the characters don't die in the end. Also, it isn't a bad relationship, it's just a relationship that involves many sexual activities and is more-so sexually "powered"

    He only "loves" her for her body. She is also very slutty. This song is a terrible role model song for anyone. This kind of song is the reason feminism exists. It is awful that it is a popular song.

    It's about a one-night-stand. Definitely.

    Not good song in terms of the wording, though good to listen.

    He wants to make love with a girl but she is not sure she wants to. So he says "Girl I know you want my love." That convinces her to make love with him so he can have fun.
