[Verse 1: Liam & Harry]
I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can't ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race
Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen, and can't breathe

[Pre-Chorus: Zayn & Liam]
Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

[Chorus: All]
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 I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

[Verse 2: Niall & Niall and Zayn]
Now I'm climbing the walls
But you don't notice at all
That I'm going out of my mind
All day and all night

[Pre-Chorus: Louis & Zayn]
Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

[Chorus: All & Harry]
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 I need that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
You've got that one thing

[Bridge: Liam]
Get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead

[Chorus: All, Zayn & Harry]
So get out, get out, get out of my head (Get out, get out, get out of my head)
And fall into my arms instead (Instead)
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing (I need that one thing)
So get out, get out, get out of my mind (Out of my mind)
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
