[Verse 1: Liam]
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

[Chorus: All]
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

[Verse 2: Harry]
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss for you
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
Well the sun's been quite kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

[Chorus: All & (Harry) & Liam]
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
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words (Words)
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

One Direction

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.

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.
