“Love Me Like You”

By Little Mix

You might got the biggest car
Don't mean he can drive me well
Or he can go for miles
Said he got a lot of cash
Darling he can't buy my love
It's you I'm dreaming of

They try to romance me
But you got that nasty
And that's what I want
So baby, baby
Come and save me
Don't need those other numbers
When I got my number one

Chorus

Last night I lay in bed so blue
‘Cause I realised the truth
They can't love me like you
I tried to find somebody new
Baby they ain't got a clue
Can't love me like you

You still get it what I want
You were pouring out your love
I can never get enough
Now I'm dealing with these boys
When I really need a man
Who can do it like I can

(Chorus)

L-O-V-E
Love the way you give it to me
When you're with me
Boy I want it every day

(Chorus)
