[Intro: Harry]
Waiting for a girl like you

[Verse 1: Liam]
The light shines, it's getting hot on my shoulders
I don't mind, this time it doesn't matter
'Cause your friends, they look good but you look better
Don't you know all night
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come around, 'round, 'round

[Chorus: Harry]
Under the lights tonight, you turned around
And you stole my heart, with just one look
When I saw your face, I fell in love
Took a minute girl, to steal my heart tonight
With just one look, yeah
Been waiting for a girl like you

[Vers 2: Liam]
I'm weaker, my worlds fall and they hit the ground
Oh life, come on 'head, don't you fail me now (don't you fail me now)
I start to say I think I love you but I make no sound
Oh 'cause all my life I've been waiting for a girl like you to come around

[Chorus: Harry]
Under the lights tonight, you turned around
And you stole my heart, with just one look
When I saw your face, I fell in love
Took a minute girl, to steal my heart tonight
With just one look, yeah
Been waiting for a girl like you

[Bridge: Zayn]
There is no other place that I would rather be
Than right here with you tonight
As we lay on the ground I put my arms around you and we can stay here tonight
'Cause there's so much I wanna say, I wanna say

[Chorus: Harry]
Under the lights tonight, you turned around
And you stole my heart, with just one look
When I saw your face, I fell in love
Took a minute girl, to steal my heart tonight
Under the lights tonight, you turned around
And you stole my heart, with just one look
When I saw your face, I fell in love
Took a minute girl, to steal my heart tonight
With just one look, yeah
Been waiting for a girl like you
Been waiting for a girl like 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.
