[Verse 1]
Always lookin' out behind my fences
Always felt isolated, oh-oh-oh
I don't know why I was so defensive
I'll find a way to let you in

[Refrain]
I will die if I don't try, damned if I ask why
This is somethin' real, this is somethin' right
Never been in love, never felt it all until now

[Pre-Chorus]
As I lay here in your bed, I need you on my chest
To warm me all the time, to take away your breath
It's written on your lips, there ain't nothin' common 'bout us
In this ordinary world where nothin' is enough
Everything is gray, mistakin' love for lust
When I hold you in my arms, there ain't nothin' common 'bout us

[Chorus]
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us

[Verse 2]
I see all your flaws and imperfections
But that's what makes me love you more, oh-oh-oh
We got such a spiritual connection
Don't you know you're fuckin' beautiful

[Refrain]
I will die if I don't try, damned if I ask why
This is somethin' real, this is somethin' right
Never been in love, never felt it all until now

[Pre-Chorus]
As I lay here in your bed, I need you on my chest
To warm me all the time, to take away your breath
It's written on your lips, there ain't nothin' common 'bout us
In this ordinary world where nothin' is enough
Everything is gray, mistakin' love for lust
When I hold you in my arms, there ain't nothin' common 'bout us

[Chorus]
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us

[Bridge]
I wanna feel your love
Just give me all your trust
Common ain't us
'Cause common ain't enough

[Pre-Chorus]
In this ordinary world where nothin' is enough
Everything is gray, mistakin' love for lust
When I hold you in my arms, there ain't nothin' common 'bout us

[Chorus]
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us
There ain't nothin' common 'bout us

Zayn Malik

Zain Javadd “Zayn” Malik is an English/Pakistani singer and songwriter, and a former member of the boy band One Direction.

In 2010, Malik auditioned for the British television series The X Factor. After being eliminated as a solo performer, Malik was brought back into the competition, along with four other contestants, to form the group that would later be known as One Direction. During Zayn’s time in the band, they released four commercially successful albums, performed on a worldwide tour, and won several awards.

In March 2015, Malik’s representative announced the singer’s departure from the band, and Malik signed a solo recording contract with RCA Records. On November 17th, 2015, through an interview for The Fader, Malik teased the release of a new song, “Befour”, from his debut album Mind Of Mine. Lead single “PILLOWTALK” debuted at #1 on the Hot 100, becoming Zayn’s first number one single. By reaching #1 in the US, it achieved something that One Direction never did—their best ranking was #2 with “Best Song Ever.”
