Song lyrics

Up All Night (2011)

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed.
- What Makes You Beautiful, written by Rami Yacoub, Carl Falk, and Savan Kotecha

If only you saw what I could see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately.
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know-o-ow,
You don't know you're beautiful.
- What Makes You Beautiful

So c-come on, you got it wrong;
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong.
- What Makes You Beautiful

So get out, get out, get out of my head,
And fall into my arms instead.
I don't-I don't don't know what it is;
But you've got that one thing.
- One Thing, written by Yacoub, Falk, and Kotecha

Shot me out of the sky;
You're my kryptonite.

you keep making me weak, yeah frozen and can't breathe.

- One Thing
You don't really want my heart No, you just like to know you can still be the one who gets it breaking You only want me when I'm taken.
- Taken

Take Me Home (2012)

Let's go crazy-crazy-crazy till we see the sun.
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love.
- Live While We're Young, written by Yacoub, Falk, and Kotecha

Oh, I just wanna show you off to all of my friends.
Make them drool down their chinny-chin-chins.
Baby be mine tonight, mine tonight, baby be mine tonight yeah.
- Kiss You, written by Cagaanan, Yacoub, Falk, Kotecha, Shellback, Kristian Lundin, Albin Nedler, and Kristoffer Fogelmark

Oh baby baby don't you know you got what I need;
Looking so good from your head to your feet.

So please don't make this any harder we can't take this any farther and I know there's nothing that I want to change.
- Summer Love

Midnight Memories (2013)

Said her name was Georgia Rose
And her daddy was a dentist.
Said I had a dirty mouth,
But she kissed me like she meant it.
- Best Song Ever, written by Wayne Hector, John Ryan, Haille Walker, Julian Bunetta, and Ed Drewett

I said "Can I take you home with me?" She said "Never in your wildest dreams".

My hands your hands tied up like two ships drifting weightless waves tryna break it I'd do anything to save it. Why is it so hard to save it?

- Strong, written by Louis Tomlinson, John Ryan, Jamie Scott and Julian Bunetta.
You and I

We don't wanna be like them We can make it 'til the end Nothing can come between You and I Not even the gods above Can separate the two of us No, nothing can come between You and I

- You and I **

I have loved you since we were 18, long before we both thought the same thing to be loved and to be in love.
- 18, written by w: Ed Sheeran
Spaces between us hold all our secrets leaving us speechless and I don't know why
who's gonna be the first to say goodbye.
