[Intro: Louis Tomlinson]
Yeah
Uh-huh
One, two, three, three

[Verse 1: Harry Styles & Louis Tomlinson]
She sneaks out in the middle of the night, yeah
Tight dress with the top cut low
She's addicted to the feeling of letting go, oh, whoa, let it go
She walks in and the room just lights up
But she don't want anyone to know
That I'm the only one that gets to take her home
Oh-whoa, take her home

[Pre-Chorus 1: Liam Payne]
But every time I tell her that I want more
She closes the door

[Chorus: Zayn Malik]
She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in love?
She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of fa-fa-falling in love, love

[Verse 2: Niall Horan & Louis Tomlinson]
Maybe she's just tryna test me
Wanna see how hard I'm gonna work
Wanna see if I can really tell how much she's worth
(What you're worth)
And maybe all her friends have told her
"Don't get closer, he'll just break your heart"
But either way she sees in me and it's just so hard (So hard)

[Pre-Chorus 2: Liam Payne]
'Cause every time I tell her how I feel
She says it's not real
One, two, three, four

[Chorus: Zayn Malik]
She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in love?
She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of fa-fa-falling in love, love

[Bridge: Harry Styles & Niall Horan]
What about all the things we say
Talking on the phone so late? (So late)
I can't let her get away from me, oh

[Pre-Chorus 3: Zayn Malik]
When I say that I can't do it no more
She's back in my door

[Final Chorus: Zayn Malik]
She's not afraid
She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild (Running wild)
How come she's so afraid of falling in love? (Falling in love)
She's not afraid of scary movies (She's not afraid)
She likes the way we kiss in the dark (Kiss in the dark)
But she's so afraid of fa-fa-falling in love, love

[Outro: Zayn Malik]
She's not afraid
She's not afraid

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.
