[Verse 1: Harry & Liam]
Better than words, more than a feeling
Crazy in love, dancing on the ceiling
Every time we touch, I'm all shook up
You make me wanna, how deep is your love? God only knows, baby

[Chorus: All & Harry]
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, oh
There's no way I can explain your love, no
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, oh
I can't explain your love, no
It's better than words (Ooo-ooh ooo-oooh)
Better than words (Oooh)

[Verse 2: Louis & Niall & Harry]
Better than words, you drive me crazy
Someone like you, always be my baby
Best I ever had, hips don't lie
You make me wanna, one more night, irreplaceable (Yeah), crazy, we're crazy

[Chorus: All & Harry]
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, oh
There's no way I can explain your love, no
(There's no way I can explain it, no)
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, oh
I can't explain your love, no

[Bridge: Louis & Harry & Louis and Harry & Liam]
Everyone tries (They try) to see what it feels like (Feels like)
But they'll never be right 'cause it's better, it's better, it's better
Ooh, one more time
Ooh, better than words, ah
Yeah

[Chorus: All & Harry & Zayn]
I don't know how else to sum it up
(I don't know, no)
'Cause words ain't good enough, ooh
There's no way I can explain your love, no
I don't know how else to sum it up (To sum it up)
'Cause words ain't good enough, ooh
(No, words ain't good enough)
I can't explain your love, no
It's better than words, better than words (Ooo-ooh ooo-oooh)
It's better than words (Oooh)
It's better than words (Ooo-ooh ooo-oooh)

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.
