[Verse 1: Harry & Liam]
I wanna write you a song
One as beautiful as you are sweet
With just a hint of pain for the feeling that I get when you are gone
I wanna write you a song
I wanna lend you my coat
One that's as soft as your cheek
So when the world is cold you will have a hiding place you can go
I wanna lend you my coat

[Chorus: Louis]
Everything I need I get from you
And giving back is all I wanna do

[Verse 2: Liam]
I wanna build you a boat
One as strong as you are free
So any time you think that your heart is gonna sink, you know it won't
I wanna build you a boat

[Chorus: Louis Tomlinson & Harry Styles]
Everything I need I get from you
And giving back is all I wanna do
Everything I need I get from you
And giving back is all I wanna do

[Outro: Niall Horan]
I wanna write you a song
One to make your heart remember me
So any time I'm gone, you can listen to my voice and sing along
I wanna write you a song
I wanna write you a song

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.
