Love Me Like You Do Lyrics

You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

I think this song is about a girl who is so in love with a boy that she can't think straight anymore, can't focus. "cause i've never been so high - 'Cause I'm not thinking straight -My head spinning around I can't see clear no more"

But i also think that she is loving him from a distance "what are you waiting for" it sounds like she doesn't have him yet, or that they are taking it very slowly.

Anyone who has been in love can relate to the song i think, the lack of patience to be with the one you love, the hunger and the loss.

Song Meaning

@maiqueen Oh come on, lets not be naive! As in a million other songs, "love" just means "fuck" - its a song about being horny and the male being not on the case.

@imrazor ..pfff.. Im guessing you have never been in love,ha? :P

@maiqueen no i think this is song just basically about the movie fifty shades of grey XD

this song is her missing her guy and she wants to get together so they can you know, "do it" thats why its on 50 shades of grey. have you seen the music video?

Song Meaning

I am in something that makes this song really resonate with me. I

t's a woman who is madly falling in love with a man she never expected, but he is not in the same place as she is. He is falling in love too, though, and he's very scared of the thing he's avoided for so long. He is doing a lot of things a man in love would do, but he has always been emotionally unavailable, and all of this is new to him, so he is very cautious. She is letting him "set the pace" on how fast they go because if it were up to her, they'd be together. It really is just like in the movie.

Catchy song, Ellie has nice vocals. Shame the millennial snowflakes trash it because of it's association with a film based off a book that was based on Twighlight fanfiction, you know the crap that millennial marxists cream their panties over. They're just pissed they didn't get a book and movie deal for their slash fics, which are trillion times worse than 50ShadesOfGrey ever was.

In my opinion the girl want the boy to be wild with her, sexually. (Follow me to the dark, paradise, fading in fading out, head spinning=pleasure, what are you waiting for- this are the words that makes the whole meaning) all that girl want is sex, basically love. Thank you.

My Opinion

I think it’s about a girl whose old flame shows back into the picture that she is afraid to let back in but can’t stop it from happening because he knows all the things to say and do . So she is just giving in and asking him what he is waiting for to just love her like only he can do because only he truly knows what she needs

Yeah seems like the song was written to fit the storyline of Fifty Shades. Looks like the songs off the movie are getting all the hits for their association rather than their own merits.

@sokorny That's why I created a video without the lyrics.
