[Verse 1: Lunchmoney Lewis]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ever since you came around
Everybody wanna drag us down
Is it 'cause we look too happy?
I'll never forget when you looked at me
And told me it was all mine
I remember that, like yesterday
It was a summer night on the west side
That was last summer, we had the best times, yeah
We crossed paths like an intersection
Now we both headed in one direction

[Chorus: Liam & Niall & (Louis) & Harry]
All my life, you stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
All my life, you stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
(Nobody, nobody)
Nobody can drag me down
(Nobody, nobody)
Nobody can drag me down

[Verse 2: Harry]
I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul, and baby you're a boat
Baby you're my only reason

[Pre-Chorus: Louis]
If I didn't have you there would be nothing left
The shell of a man who could never be his best
If I didn't have you I'd never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah

[Chorus: All]
All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody can drag
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody

[Verse 3: Lunchmoney Lewis]
She a work of art like Van Gogh
I'm underground like Camp Lo
Yeah I'm top of them pop charts
But I'm still saggin' my pants low
I don't do meetings, I cancel
One D let me get some of them fans though
Just a young nigga from Dade County
Where they move chickens like Nando
When I touch down in London town
I be sippin' tea with Simon Cowell
Fact, shout out to Skepta, we shut it down
Y'all lame niggas can't drag me down

[Chorus: All]
All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody can drag me down

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.
