[Verse 1: Liam]
Baby I, I wanna know
What you think when you're alone
Is it me? Yeah
Are you thinking of me, yeah? Oh
We've been friends now for a while
Wanna know that when you smile
Is it me? Yeah
Are you thinking of me, yeah? Oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
Girl, what would you do
Would you wanna stay
If I were to say?

[Chorus: All & Harry]
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your, let me be your last first kiss
I wanna be first, yeah
Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this
And if you only knew
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your last
Your last first kiss

[Verse 2: Niall & Louis]
Baby, tell me what to change
I'm afraid you'll run away
If I tell you
What I've wanted to tell you, yeah
Maybe I just gotta wait
Maybe this is a mistake
I'm a fool, yeah
Baby, I'm just a fool, yeah, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Zayn]
Girl, what would you do
Would you wanna stay
If I were to say?

[Chorus: All & Harry]
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your, let me be your last first kiss
I wanna be first, yeah
Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this
And if you only knew
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your last
Your last first kiss
(Your last first kiss)
Your last first kiss
(Your last first kiss)

[Pre-Chorus: Liam & Harry]
Girl, what would you do
Would you wanna stay
If I were to say?
Your last first kiss

[Chorus: All & Harry & Zayn]
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your, let me be your last first kiss
I wanna be first, yeah
Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this
And if you (Yeah!) only knew
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your last
Your last first kiss (Your last first kiss)

[Outro: All & Harry & Zayn]
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your last
Your last first kiss, oh (Your last first kiss)
I wanna be last, yeah
Baby, let me be your last
Your last first kiss

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.
