[Intro: Harry]
Got to be
Got to be
Got to be
Got to be
Got to be
Got to be

[Verse 1: Liam]
Girl I see it in your eyes you're disappointed
Cause I'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart
I tore it apart
And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
And no woman in the world deserves this, but here I am asking you for one more chance

[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
Can we fall, one more time?
Stop the tape and rewind
Oh and if you walk away I know I'll fade
Cause there is nobody else

[Chorus: Harry & All]
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you

[Verse 2: Liam]
Now girl I hear it in your voice and how it trembles
When you speak to me I don't resemble, who I was, you've almost had enough
And your actions speak louder than words
And you're about to break from all you've heard, but don't be scared, I ain't going no where

[Pre-Chorus: Zayn and Liam & Zayn & Zayn and Niall]
I'll be here, by your side
No more fears, no more crying
But if you walk away, I know I'll fade
Cause there is nobody else

[Chorus: Harry & All]
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
Oh, girl

[Bridge: Zayn & All]
Can we try one more, one more time?
One more, one more, can we try? One more, one more time, I'll make it better
One more, one more, can we try? One more, one more
Can we try one more time to make it all better?
Can we try one more, one more, can we try? One more, one more
Can we try one more, one more, can we try? One more, one more
Can we try one more, one more, can we try? One more, one more
Can we try one more time to make it all better?

[Chorus: Harry & All]
It's gotta be you
It's gotta be you, only you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, oh, only you
It's gotta be you
It's gotta be you, only you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, oh, only you

[End: Zayn]
One more time, baby
One more time, baby
One more time, baby
One more time, baby
One more time, baby
One more time, baby
One more time, baby
One more time, baby

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.
