[Verse 1: Harry]
Give you this, give you that
Blow a kiss, take it back
If I look inside your brain
I would find lots of things
Clothes, shoes, diamond rings
Stuff that's driving me insane
You could be preoccupied
Different date every night
You've just got to say the word
But you're not into them at all
You just want materials
I should know because I've heard the girls say

[Chorus: All & Louis]
I want, I want, I want
But that's crazy
I want, I want, I want
And that's not me
I want, I want, I want to be loved by you

[Verse 2: Liam]
You've got everything you need
But you want accessories
Got to hold it in your hand
If I changed the world for you
I bet you wouldn't have a clue
Don't you know that I can't stand when girls say

[Chorus: All & Louis]
I want, I want, I want
But that's crazy
I want, I want, I want
And that's not me
I want, I want, I want to be loved by you
Oh and all the girls say
I want, I want, I want
But that's crazy
I want, I want, I want
And that's not me
I want, I want, I want to be loved by you

[Bridge: Zayn & Liam]
Be loved by you
I wanna
I'll stay true
I wanna
If you knew what you put me through
Would you want, you want, you want me to love you too?
I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy
I want, I want, I want but that's not me
I want, I want, I wanna be loved by you

[Chorus: Zayn & All & Louis & (Harry)]
Oh, and all the girls say
I want, I want, I want
But that's crazy
I want, I want, I want
And that's not me
I want, I want, I want to be loved by you (Want to be loved by you)
I want, I want, I want
(And all the girls say)
I want, I want, I want
And that's crazy
I want, I want, I want to be loved by you

One Direction

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.
