26 Love Songs for Him

There are many ways of telling someone you love them and love songs is one of them, so we’ve listed some great love songs to send a guy!

Back in the day one of the most romantic things you could do for someone was recording a cassette tape with love songs. These days you send them a link on YouTube, or put together a USB key. The message is the same though: love.

In relationships we sometimes forget to express how much we likes someone – forget to give them compliments, hugs, words of encouragement and just generally letting them know we think they’re both lovely and sizzling hot! But it’s important to do so, so why not, amongst the compliments, gifts and random acts of kindness throw in some love songs as well? We’ve listed some funny ones and sexy ones too – because sometimes love should be fun and sexy!

1. Natural Woman 

Aretha Franklin said it all when she sang “You make me feel like a natural woman.”

When my soul was in the lost and found

You came along to claim it

I didn’t know just what was wrong with me

Till your kiss helped me name it

2. Your Song

Elton John’s Your Song is such a beautiful song! The lyrics are, in fact, perfect as they’re all about writing a love song for someone. If you prefer you can use the Ewan McGregor version from Moulin Rouge.

And you can tell everybody this is your song

It may be quite simple but now that it’s done

I hope you don’t mind

I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

3. Like a Virgin

Does he make you feel like a virgin? Like he’s touching you for the very first time? This is another classic song that was adopted to Moulin Rouge and hey, if a man makes you feel like that, it is special. Maybe it’s not your average love song, but it is a beautiful sentiment.

I made it through the wilderness

Somehow I made it through

Didn’t know how lost I was

Until I found you

I was beat incomplete

I’d been had, I was sad and blue

But you made me feel

Yeah, you made me feel

Shiny and new

[Chorus:]

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

When your heart beats

Next to mine

4. Make You Feel My Love

If you are particularly keen on making your man feel your love, then this song by Adele is absolutely perfect! It says it straight out, but in a wonderfully poetic way.

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

5. The Best

Tina Turner’s upbeat tune The Best also happens to have lyrics that could make any man a happy one! And should you not like Tina’s version, you can try Bonnie Tyler’s one.

I call you when I need you

When my heart’s on fire

You come to me, come to me

Wild and wired

You come to me,

Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises

And a world of dreams

Speak the language of love

Like you know what it means

It can’t be wrong

Take my heart and make it strong, baby

6. At Last

Want a little bit of those golden olden days? How about Etta James’ At Last?

At last

My love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song

7. Because You Loved Me

Celine Dion’s Because You Loved Me is really a tune that explains what love can mean to someone. How much it strengthens you.

For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I’ll be forever thankful baby

You’re the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You’re the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn’t speak

You were my eyes when I couldn’t see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach

You gave me faith ’cause you believed

I’m everything I am

Because you loved me

8. You’re Still the One 

Did your love beat the odds? Did people not believe in you as a couple? Then Shania Twain’s You’re Still the One is the tune you want to share with your other half!

Looks like we made it

Look how far we’ve come, my baby

We mighta took the long way

We knew we’d get there someday

They said, “I bet they’ll never make it.”

But just look at us holding on

We’re still together, still going strong

(you’re still the one)

You’re still the one I run to

The one that I belong to

You’re still the one I want for life

(you’re still the one)

You’re still the one that I love

The only one I dream of

You’re still the one I kiss good night

9. All of Me

John Legend’s All of Me is a modern classic where love songs are concerned – written for his wife, it’s a truly beautiful song.

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in, and you kicking me out

You’ve got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down

What’s going on in that beautiful mind

I’m on your magical mystery ride

And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

[Pre-Chorus:]

My head’s under water

But I’m breathing fine

You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

[Chorus:]

‘Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I’ll give my all to you

You’re my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I’m winning

‘Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh oh

10. I Want to Know What Love Is 

As far as the true classics from the 80s/90s goes…this one is right up there!

In my life there’s been heartache and pain

I don’t know if I can face it again

Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far

To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is

I want you to show me

I wanna feel what love is

I know you can show me

11. Thinking Out Loud

Ed Sheehan’s Thinking Out Loud, which talks of love lasting till old age is a truly beautiful song.

And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

12. We Found Love

Rihanna’s We Found Love is a mellow, yet beautiful song about finding love in a hopeless place. Perfect if you’ve been through some hard times and then found love together.

13. Crazy in Love

If you’re feeling crazy in love, then there’s a song for that. Turn up Beyoncé.

I look and stare so deep in your eyes,

I touch on you more and more every time,

When you leave I’m begging you not to go,

Call your name two or three times in a row,

Such a funny thing for me to try to explain,

How I’m feeling and my pride is the one to blame.

‘Cuz I know I don’t understand,

Just how your love can do what no one else can.

14. Endless Love

This song is so romantic that any heart would melt at hearing it. Lionel Richie and Diana Ross are truly incredible in this one.

My love,

There’s only you in my life

The only thing that’s bright

My first love,

You’re every breath that I take

You’re every step I make

15. Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You 

This song has been done by everyone from Lauryn Hill to Gloria Gaynor, so you have plenty of artists to choose from, but Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ version is a classic! And remember that scene in 10 Things I Hate About You where Heath Ledger sang it in a sports arena? Who wouldn’t have melted?

You’re just too good to be true

Can’t take my eyes off you

You’d be like heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I’m alive

You’re just too good to be true

Can’t take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare

There’s nothing else to compare

The sight of you leaves me weak

There are no words left to speak

16. I Just Called to Say I Love You 

Sometimes you just want to make that phone call that Stevie Wonder sings about. And sometimes you do. So why not play the song at the same time? Or send it after you make the call!

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

17. She Loves You 

You gotta have at least one song by The Beatles on the list, don’t you? She Loves You is perfect, it says it in the title even! Though according to the full lyrics this is the kind of song you send someone after an argument, or after he thinks he’s lost you for some reason or other.

You think you lost your love

Well, I saw her yesterday

It’s you she’s thinking of

And she told me what to say

She says she loves you

And you know that can’t be bad

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad

18. Stand by Your Man

If you’ve had a misunderstanding and want to show him you still love him, then this song by Tammy Wynette is just what you’re looking for.

Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman

Giving all your love to just one man

You’ll have bad times, and he’ll have good times

Doin’ things that you don’t understand

But if you love him, you’ll forgive him

Even though he’s hard to understand

And if you love him, oh be proud of him

‘Cause after all he’s just a man.

Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to

And something warm to come to

When nights are cold and lonely.

Stand by your man, and show the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can.

Stand by your man.

Stand by your man, and show the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can.

Stand by your man.

19. I’ll Still Be Loving You 

Restless Heart has a good old country classic for you…

When today is just a memory to me

I know I’ll still be loving

I’ll still be loving you

I’ll still be loving you…

20. God Gave Me You 

Blake Shelton may be insanely hot (don’t tell your man), but he also has some lyrics that are great for expressing love for someone. At least if you’re into divine stuff!

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it’s true

God gave me you

Gave me you

There’s more here than what we’re seeing

A divine conspiracy

That you, an angel lovely

Could somehow fall for me

21. Pillowtalk

Pillowtalk by Zayn is kind of sexy, but also very intimate – a sexy kind of love song. And sometimes you need those too.

I’m seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure

Nobody but you, ‘body but me, ‘body but us

Bodies together

I’d love to hold you close, tonight and always

I’d love to wake up next to you

I’d love to hold you close, tonight and always

I’d love to wake up next to you

So we’ll piss off the neighbours

In the place that feels the tears

The place to lose your fears

Yeah, reckless behaviour

A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw

Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day

22. Don’t Be So Shy

If you’re looking for another sexy, yet intensely beautiful love song, try Imany’s Don’t Be So Shy – be sure to use the original version though (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY-Q2Z20tGo), not the radio remix which is a lot more funky…and less intimate. Maybe it’s not a love song in the classic sense, but it’s so divinely intimate.

Take a breath

Rest your head

Close your eyes

You’re alright

Just lay down

Turn my side

Do you feel my heat on your skin?

23. Love You Like a Love Song

The ultimate love song as it even says it’s a love song in the title! Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez & The Scene.

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

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

24. Mirrors

Ever felt a man was a mirror of your soul? Then Mirrors by Justin Timberlake will help you explain it to him.

Aren’t you somethin’ to admire?

‘Cause your shine is somethin’ like a mirror

And I can’t help but notice

You reflect in this heart of mine

If you ever feel alone and

The glare makes me hard to find

Just know that I’m always parallel on the other side

‘Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there’s no place we couldn’t go

Just put your hand on the glass

I’ll be tryin’ to pull you through

You just gotta be strong

25. Love Me Like You Do

Ellie Goulding’s upbeat tune Love Me Like You Do is a fun and easy way of telling someone you love them. As it is so upbeat it’s more the kind of song you turn on full volume and dance around the living room to, or have a pillow fight, or something playful like that…

So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do

Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do

Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

26. Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better)

Wanna tell someone nobody loves you better than they do? Then this song by Felix Jaehn is what you need.

Ain’t nobody

Loves me better

Makes me happy

Makes me feel this way

Ain’t nobody

Loves me better than you
