[Verse 1: Liam & Harry & All]
People say we shouldn’t be together
Too young to know about forever
But I say they don’t know
What they talk talk talking about
(Talk talk talking about)
'Cause this love is only getting stronger
So I don’t wanna wait any longer
I just wanna tell the world that you're mine girl,
Oh

[Chorus: Zayn & All]
They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the I love you’s
But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us
They don’t know about the up all nights
They don’t know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don’t know about, they don’t know about us

[Verse 2: Niall & Harry]
Just one touch and I was a believer
Every kiss it gets a little sweeter
It’s getting better
Keeps getting better all the time girl

[Chorus: Zayn & All]
They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the I love you’s
But I bet you if they only knew (They don't know)
They would just be jealous of us
They don’t know about the up all nights
They don’t know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don’t know about, they don’t know about us

[Bridge: Louis & Niall & Zayn]
They don’t know how special you are
They don’t know what you’ve done to my heart
They can say anything they want
'Cause they don’t know about us
They don’t know what we do best
That’s between me and you, our little secret
But I wanna tell 'em
I wanna tell the world that you're mine girl

[Chorus: All & Zayn]
They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the I love you’s
(I love you)
But I bet you if they only knew
(If they only knew)
They would just be jealous of us
(They would just be jealous of us)
They don’t know about the up all nights
They don’t know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
(It feels so right)
Baby they don’t know about, they don’t know about us
(They don't know about us, they don't know about us)
They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the I love you’s
(They don't know about us)
But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us
They don’t know about the up all nights (Up all night)
They don’t know I've waited all my life (All my life)
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don’t know about, they don’t know about us
They don’t know about us

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.
