Love You Like a Love Song Lyrics

[Intro]
(Rock Mafia)

[Verse 1]
It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now, here's another one
So your melody will play on and on with the best of 'em

You are beautiful
Like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You saved my life again

[Pre-Chorus]
And I want you to know, baby

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (Oh)
And I keep hittin' repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
[Verse 2]
Constantly
Boy, you play through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful, you are

[Pre-Chorus]
And I want you to know, baby

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you, I love you)
And I keep hittin' repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (Like a love song)

[Bridge]
No one compares
You stand alone to every record I own
Music to my heart, that's what you are (Ba-ba-baby)
A song that goes on and on (And on)
[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you like a song)
And I keep hittin' repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (Like a love, oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (Oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you)
I love you like a love song

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Love You Like a Love Song” was released as the second single from When the Sun Goes Down. It was Selena Gomez & the Scene’s most successful single in the United States, lasting the longest on the Billboard Hot 100 of any of the band’s singles and eventually being certified double-platinum by the RIAA.

In 2011, Gomez revealed the inspiration behind the song to E! News:

This song is fun and I wanted it to be really high fashion and different and I think we have accomplished that. It’s basically talking about how crazy you are about someone whenever it’s the beginning. It’s the honeymoon stage if you will.

It’s one of those tracks that’s addictive because it’s kind of repetitive in the best way. It’s one of those songs that you can’t get out of your head. It was written by Tim [James] and Antonina [Armato] of Rock Mafia, and they’re so sweet.
