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 yours eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs,
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine,
But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you
Oh, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you,
And all these little things
You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me...
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things...
You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right, darlin'
But I want you to
If I let you know I'm here for you,
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh
And I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you,
Oh it's you,
It's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you and all these little things
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things
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
The crinkles by yours eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs,
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine,
But I'll love them endlessly
But if I do, it's you
Oh, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you,
And all these little things
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me...
But if it's true, it's you
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things...
You'll never treat yourself right, darlin'
But I want you to
If I let you know I'm here for you,
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh
'Cause it's you,
Oh it's you,
It's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you and all these little things
But if it's true, it's you
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things

First off, can I just say: thank the lord for Ed Sheeran for writing such beautiful lyrics and the boys for having such angelic voices, ugh!
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 had the teenager in me squealing and giggling with joy. The lyrics are absolutely adorable. Girls can be so self-concious at times, and forget that its the 'little things' (good or bad) that contribute to them being the amazing person they are. This song is such a beautiful reminder.
He saying that he doesn't want to let her get so insecure into her size and how the way she sees herself, because he loves those 'little things' about her. Then he starts saying it to her, because all those little insecurities are what makes her, her. I'm not a crazy 1-D fan but this is a great song.
Well basically this song is saying that girls are still beautiful not matter what may look like ect....
ok first off: I LOVE THIS SONG TO BITS!! seriously, it feels like it was written for me!! anyways enough of me.
i love this song for many reasons:
they are showing a side we havent really seen before: they are showing that no matter what you look like, no matter your insecurities, there is someone else out there that love you for who you are and love your so-called imperfections.
i love that it is simple and its just them singing with their amazing voices.
it show that not all teenaged boys are shallow and self-centered jerks, that they look beyond fake tans, fake boobs and dyed blonde hair.
love you boys soo much!!

Its about reassuring the girl they love that all of her insecurities are what makes her her, " what makes her beautiful" you might want to say. That all those little things that make her her are why they love her. They love not only her, but all those little things.
They are basically saying that they see past the insecurities and flaws of the people they love, specifically in a relationship. It goes along with "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
I think its about their fans who have insecurities of all kind telling them that know matter what is going on they are worth it.
this is about harrys dick
Literally one of only two 1D songs I like (other is What Makes You Beautiful) and that is partly down to the godsend that is Ed Freaking "I Made being ginger cool" Sheeran!!!!!!!!!!! (may have slightly fanboyed a bit much there) I think that if the boys stuck to ballads then they would be amazing, especially as it is undenyable that the girls love them, in the same way that I fawn over little mix. Possibly the greatest love song of all time! :~D
