About Love Me Like You

"Love Me Like You" is a song recorded by British girl group Little Mix for their third studio album, Get Weird (2015). The song was released on 25 September 2015, as the second single from the album. Produced by Steve Mac, he co-wrote the song with Iain James, Camille Purcell and James Newman. Backed by an instrumental of pianos, bells, sax and percussion, the song is a down-tempo retro homage to doo-wop, with lyrics about puppy love. Its composition was compared by several critics to Motown artists of the 1950s and 1960s, namely The Ronettes, The Supremes and Shadow Morton. Critical response to "Love Me Like You" was positive: critics praised its vintage style and highlighted it as an album standout. It reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and has been certified platinum by the BPI. The accompanying music video for the song is set at a high school dance. Unbeknownst to each member of the group, they had been invited to attend by the same date after previously meeting him in different situations. He arrives with another girl near the end of the night, and they realise that they had all been invited by the same man, and end up alone. Little Mix have performed the track on both the Australian and British versions of The X Factor and on Good Morning America in the United States.

Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la

He might got the biggest ca-ar-r
Don't mean he can drive me wild or he can go for miles
Said he got a lot of ca-a-ash
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 (that's what I want)
So baby, baby
Come and save me
Don't need those other numbers
When I got my number one

Last night I lay in bed so blue
'Cause I realized 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 that I wa-a-ant
You were pouring out your love, I could never get enough
Now I'm dealing with these bo-o-ys
When I really need a man who can do it like I can

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

Last night I lay in bed so blue
'Cause I realized 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
Sha-la-la-la, woo-oo, sha-la-la-la, oh oh oh oh oh
Sha-la-la-la, oh woo, can't love me like you
Sha-la-la-la, woo, sha-la-la-la,
Oh oh oh oh sha-la-la-la, oh, oh can't love me like you

L-O-V-E, love the way you give it to me
When you're with me, boy I want it everyday
L-O-V-E, love the way you give it to me
When you're with me, boy I want it everyday

Last night I lay in bed so blue
'Cause I realized the truth, they can't love me like you
I tried to find somebody new
Baby they got a clue, can't love me like you
(L-o-v-e) last night I lay in bed so blue (love the way you give it to me)
'Cause I realized the truth, they can't love me like you (l-o-v-e) (boy I want it everyday)
I tried to find somebody new (l-o-v-e)
Baby they ain't got a clue, can't love me like you
