Be by You Lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Verse 1]
Kinda like an old jon boat on some large mouth water
Kinda like that breeze that blows through a sweet home holler
I can't leave your lovin' alone
Where you are is where I belong
[Chorus]
I hope I ain't comin' on too strong
Just wanna hold you close, baby
Kinda looks like you do too
I just wanna make love, wake up next to you
No makeup, baby, nothing beats that view
I guess what it comes down to
Is I just wanna be by you
[Verse 2]
Love it when your bench seat blues slide to the middle
I'm stuck to you like glue, on your hip like a pistol
Wanna find me, you ain't gotta look far
There's nothing that can pull us apart
[Chorus]
And I hope I ain't comin' on too strong
Just wanna hold you close, baby
Kinda looks like you do too
I just wanna make love, wake up next to you
No makeup, baby, nothing beats that view
I guess what it comes down to
Is I just wanna be by you
[Bridge]
If the day ends in Y
If the sun or the moon's hangin' up in the sky
[Chorus]
I hope I ain't comin' on too strong
Just wanna hold you close, baby
Kinda looks like you do too
I just wanna make love, wake up next to you
No makeup, baby, nothing beats that view
I guess what it comes down to
Is I just wanna be by you
Kinda like an old jon boat on some large mouth water
Kinda like that breeze that blows through a sweet home holler
I can't leave your lovin' alone
Where you are is where I belong
[Chorus]
I hope I ain't comin' on too strong
Just wanna hold you close, baby
Kinda looks like you do too
I just wanna make love, wake up next to you
No makeup, baby, nothing beats that view
I guess what it comes down to
Is I just wanna be by you
[Verse 2]
Love it when your bench seat blues slide to the middle
I'm stuck to you like glue, on your hip like a pistol
Wanna find me, you ain't gotta look far
There's nothing that can pull us apart
[Chorus]
And I hope I ain't comin' on too strong
Just wanna hold you close, baby
Kinda looks like you do too
I just wanna make love, wake up next to you
No makeup, baby, nothing beats that view
I guess what it comes down to
Is I just wanna be by you
[Bridge]
If the day ends in Y
If the sun or the moon's hangin' up in the sky
[Chorus]
I hope I ain't comin' on too strong
Just wanna hold you close, baby
Kinda looks like you do too
I just wanna make love, wake up next to you
No makeup, baby, nothing beats that view
I guess what it comes down to
Is I just wanna be by you
Translation
Normal
[Verso 1]
Como un viejo bote en aguas de lubina
Como esa brisa que sopla por el valle hogareño
No puedo dejar tu amor
Donde estés es donde pertenezco
[Coro]
Espero no ser demasiado intenso
Solo quiero abrazarte fuerte, cariño
Parece que tú también lo deseas
Solo quiero hacer el amor, despertar a tu lado
Sin maquillaje, nena, nada supera esa vista
Supongo que al final se reduce a esto
Solo quiero estar junto a ti
[Verso 2]
Me encanta cuando te acercas en el asiento
Estoy pegado a ti como pegamento, en tu cadera como pistola
Si me buscas, no tienes que mirar lejos
Nada puede separarnos
[Puente]
Si el día termina en 's'
Si el sol o la luna cuelgan en el cielo
[Coro]
Espero no ser demasiado intenso
Solo quiero abrazarte fuerte, cariño
Parece que tú también lo deseas
Solo quiero hacer el amor, despertar a tu lado
Sin maquillaje, nena, nada supera esa vista
Supongo que al final se reduce a esto
Solo quiero estar junto a ti
Como un viejo bote en aguas de lubina
Como esa brisa que sopla por el valle hogareño
No puedo dejar tu amor
Donde estés es donde pertenezco
[Coro]
Espero no ser demasiado intenso
Solo quiero abrazarte fuerte, cariño
Parece que tú también lo deseas
Solo quiero hacer el amor, despertar a tu lado
Sin maquillaje, nena, nada supera esa vista
Supongo que al final se reduce a esto
Solo quiero estar junto a ti
[Verso 2]
Me encanta cuando te acercas en el asiento
Estoy pegado a ti como pegamento, en tu cadera como pistola

Meaning & Explanation
Luke Combs' 'Be by You' is a heartfelt country ballad that explores the depth of romantic devotion through simple yet powerful imagery. The song's central theme revolves around the narrator's unwavering desire to be physically and emotionally close to their partner, expressed through rural metaphors like 'an old jon boat on some large mouth water' and 'breeze that blows through a sweet home holler.' These nature-based comparisons ground the love story in authentic country roots while conveying timeless affection. The lyrics paint intimacy through specific details - the bench seat moment, waking up together, the appreciation of natural beauty without makeup - creating a relatable portrait of mature love. Combs masterfully balances passionate desire ('I just wanna make love') with tender commitment ('where you are is where I belong'), capturing the duality of romantic relationships. The recurring chorus emphasizes mutual attraction while addressing the vulnerability of expressing deep feelings ('hope I ain't comin' on too strong'). Musically, the likely combination of acoustic instrumentation and Combs' signature baritone would enhance the song's emotional authenticity, making the devotion feel both personal and universal. This track resonates particularly with listeners valuing substance over superficial romance, as it celebrates love's everyday moments and steadfast presence. The bridge's celestial imagery ('sun or the moon') suggests this love transcends time and circumstance, while the 'glue' and 'pistol' metaphors in verse two playfully acknowledge the irresistible pull between the partners. Ultimately, 'Be by You' succeeds as both a romantic declaration and meditation on love's simple, enduring comforts.
