Ed Sheeran – Shape of You

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 now
Take my hand, stop, put Van The Man on the jukebox

And then we start to dance and now I'm singing like

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)

I'm in love with your body (Oh—i—oh—i—oh—i—oh—i)

I'm in love with your body (Oh—i—oh—i—oh—i—oh—i)

I'm in love with your body

Every day discovering something brand new

I'm in love with the shape of you

One week in we let the story begin, we're going out on our first date

You and me are thrifty so go all you can eat

Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate

We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour

And how your family is doing okay

Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat

Tell the driver make the radio play and I'm singing like

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)

I'm in love with your body (Oh—i—oh—i—oh—i—oh—i)

I'm in love with your body (Oh—i—oh—i—oh—i—oh—i)

I'm in love with your body

Every day discovering something brand new

I'm in love with the shape of you

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on

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

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

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on (I'm in love with your body)

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on (I'm in love with your body)

Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on (I'm in love with your body)

Every day discovering something brand new

I'm in love with the shape of you

Explication des paroles

« Shape of You » est une chanson populaire de l’artiste britannique Ed Sheeran, sortie en 2017. Les paroles parlent d’une rencontre amoureuse dans un bar, où l’attraction physique entre les deux protagonistes est évidente. Ed Sheeran décrit de manière assez crue et directe son intérêt pour une femme en mentionnant des détails de son physique, comme ses formes et ses mouvements sur la piste de danse.

L’anecdote intéressante à propos de cette chanson est que, même si elle est centrée sur le thème de la séduction et de la passion, la mélodie et la production musicale sont énergiques et entrainantes, créant un contraste intéressant. Cela a contribué à faire de « Shape of You » un énorme succès commercial et l’une des chansons les plus populaires de l’année 2017.

Certains critiques ont souligné que les paroles de la chanson perpétuent des stéréotypes de genre en objectifiant la femme, tandis que d’autres ont apprécié la sincérité et la légèreté de la chanson. Quelle que soit l’interprétation, « Shape of You » reste un morceau incontournable dans le répertoire musical d’Ed Sheeran et a marqué un tournant dans sa carrière.
