[Intro: Harry]
If this room was burning
I wouldn't even notice
'Cause you've been taking up my mind
With your little white lies, little white lies

[Verse 1: Liam & Louis]
You say it's getting late, it's getting late
And you don't know if you can stay, if you can stay
But you, you don't tell the truth
No, you, you like playing games
Your hands touching me, they're touching me
And your eyes keep saying things
They're saying what we do when it's only me and you
I can't concentrate

[Pre-Chorus: Niall]
That's all I'm thinking about, all I keep thinking about
Everything else just fades away

[Chorus: Harry]
If this room was burning
I wouldn't even notice
'Cause you've been taking up my mind
With your little white lies, little white lies
You say you're a good girl
But I know you would, girl
'Cause you've been telling me all night
With your little white lies, little white lies
With your little white lies, little white lies

[Verse 2: Zayn]
Back seat of the cab, we're in the cab
My lips getting so attached, they're so attached
Now you wanna make some rules
Now, cool, then we'll watch them break tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Niall]
I know what you want
And I've been waiting so long

[Chorus: Harry]
If this room was burning
I wouldn't even notice
'Cause you've been taking up my mind
With your little white lies, little white lies
You say you're a good girl
But I know you would, girl
'Cause you've been telling me all night
With your little white lies, little white lies
With your little white lies, little white lies

[Bridge: Zayn]
I know you want it, I know you feel it too
Let's stop pretending
That you don't know what I don't know
Just what we came to do (Came to do, came to do, came to do)

[Chorus: All & Zayn]
If this room was burning (Burning, burning)
I wouldn't even notice (Yeah)
'Cause you've been taking up my mind (Taking up my mind)
With your little white lies, little white lies (Little white lies)
You say you're a good girl (A good girl)
But I know you would, girl (Know you would, girl)
'Cause you've been telling me all night (All night)
With your little white lies, little white lies (Little white lies)
With your little white lies, little white lies

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.
