How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
First time that I saw you boy
It was a warm and sunny day
All I know is I wanted you
I really hoped you looked my way
When you smiled at me
So warm and sweet
I could not stay
You make me feel like a itty-bitty girl
What do you do to me
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gonna be there
Your energy, feels so damn good to me
It picks me up don't want to come down
You got me spinning all around
Yeah
You need to know
I've got that somebody
You're beautiful
But it ain't that kind-a party nowww
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
Well I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Baby we'll be butterflies
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
That sounds so divine
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I guess I will now
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Wait, wait a little while
See it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming
Boy don't get me wrong
'Cause every time (every time) I see you (every single time)
I know just how strong (every single time)
That my love is for my baby
But emotions just don't lie
Well I know I'm a lot of woman
But not enough to divide the pie
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
You know I want to stay around
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm so confused now
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Already
I'm going to be there
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm going to look for you
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someones girl?
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Oh
Oh baby

When I want you in my world
