Little Things Lyrics

Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me...

I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your...

    I love this song because it tells you that you are perfect the way you are and you shouldn't compare yourself to other people. You need to feel good about yourself because no one else can be you, and you are perfect.
    It's about loving a girl's flaws. That's why they love them. It's what makes you, YOU.This song is about a boyfriend telling his girlfriend that no matter how much she doubts herself, he'll still be there loving her for who she is. It's about a guy who see a girl and he doesn't judge her from the outside. She might not be the prettiest girl in the world but to him she's the most beautiful girl in the world, both inside and outside. The song is saying that they don't care about the physical appearence of the girl but they love her and her flaws and hates how she looks but he loves it no matter what and he says 'don't change'!!

    Ed Sheeran, the writer of this song (of whom if you do not already know, see immediately!), intended for it to be a song to make all girls feel beautiful. Everything we girls think of a flaw, he thinks as perfect.

    I feel this song is about a boy saying that all girls are perfect, and shouldn't do anything to their bodies. Because the boy loves her anyhow.

    This is a really sweet song. The boys are basically saying that all these girls may not think they are beautiful but they do. "Your perfect to me" "You'll never love yourself like I love you" etc. Zayn Malik said himself that this song is about no girl in particular but every girl. (:

    The song is about girls in general and not just one girl. Imperfections are what makes a girl who she is, so she shouldn't be insecure about herself, and people will love her no matter how she looks. The song is telling girls to just be confident about the way they look and to know that they're beautiful inside and out.

    My interpretation is a guy that loves a girl for everything she is. He loves her for the things she does and doesn't love about herself. He realizes that she is beautiful and he isn't one of those jerks that likes you just for your looks. i also think that even if " Little Things" doesn't exactly describe you like it does me it still applies to you. i hope it makes you feel better like it did me.

    they're basically saying that every single girl is perfect. it's telling us not to hate ourselves and how we look. it's saying that we're all beautiful. :) you get the idea. c: xoxoxoxoxoxo

    This is how I see it...
    He starts off by singing about the girl he's in love with and how all the things she's insecure about when it comes to herself are actually things that make him love her.
    Then, he goes from saying "I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth" (I guess he doesn't want to point these things out because she's sensitive about them?) to saying "I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth." But it doesn't matter because all of these qualities (or "little things") make her who she is and as he says, she's perfect to him.
    So in the end, he's telling her he's in love with her and everything about her, no matter if she views some of those qualities as imperfections.

    This song is about girls in general. The girl hates herself and they are trying to show her that she's really beautiful.
    I can relate to the descriptions in this song soooo much :*((

    (I think) this is a song about a women/girl who has problems with herself. She sees only her flaws and the things that she considers "un-ideal". This guy recognises her flaws and her little insecurities and is trying to tell her that she is still beautiful and that the things that make her upset and what makes her unique, special and... beautiful.

    Little Things by One Direction is saying that a girl is very insecure on many things about herself, but the guy doesn't care about these flaws and thinks that she is flawless and perfect the way she already is.
