We will only learn one part of the song

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body

And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

(Oh-I-oh-I-oh-I-oh-I)

Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you
