"Love You Like That" is a song by Dagny, released on October 13, 2017.
Background[]
“Love You Like That” is one of songs I feel most passionate about of my own songs -- it’s one I’m most connected to, I’m very proud of it.
She called it her "first proper love song", where she was against putting phrases like "I love you" in songs, as she considered herself not romantic, or emotional.[1]
Katy Perry's song, "Never Really Over", was based on the song, and gave credit, reaching out to the singer.[2]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You hate that I usually don't open up
I know when I say it, it doesn't say enough
With you close, I'm the happiest I ever was
I tend to avoid getting emotional
I'm not shutting you out
It's just the way I'm born
But I see myself next to you until we're old
[Chorus]
You know how they say you got the real thing
When nothing else matters
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
All I wanna say is I got the real thing
And nothing else matters
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
[Verse 2]
I'm not always clever with the words I use
You want something deeper
Yeah, I know you do
But, right when I hold you, don't you know the truth?
One look in my eyes
And you should know the truth
You should know the truth
Yeah, you
[Chorus]
You know how they say you got the real thing
When nothing else matters
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
All I wanna say is I got the real thing
And nothing else matters
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
[Bridge]
You know when they say you got the real thing
And nothing else matters
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you like that
[Chorus]
You know how they say you got the real thing
When nothing else matters
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you like that
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
All I wanna say is I got the real thing
And nothing else matters
I love you like that (oh)
I love you like that (all I just say is I love you like that)
I love you like that
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
[Outro]
(Yeah, you)
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
(Yeah, you)
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
(Yeah, you)
I love you, I love you
I love you like that
All I wanna say is I got the real thing
And nothing else matters
I love you like that
