Stand Up
One Direction · Up All Night [2011]
I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
I had to take you and make you mine
I would walk through the desert, I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans
Just to see you smile
Whatever it takes is fine
Oh oh oh oooh oh
So put your hands up
Oh oh oh oooh oh
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving 'til I finished stealing,
Every piece of your heart
I know your heart's been broken, but don't you give up
I'll be there, yeah, I know it
To fix you with love
It hurts me to think that you've ever cried
Oh oh oh oooh oh
So put your hands up
Oh oh oh oooh oh
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving 'til I finished stealing,
Every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart
Oh oh oh oooh oh
So put your hands up
Oh oh oh oooh oh
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving 'til I finished stealing,
Every piece of your heart
And now we're stealing the car
And we will drive to the stars
I will give you the moon,
That's the least I can do
If you give me the chance
Oh oh oh oooh oh
So put your hands up
Oh oh oh oooh oh
'Cause it's a stand up
I'm a thief,
I'm a thief
You can call me a thief
I'm a thief,
I'm a thief
But you should know your part
I'm a thief,
I'm a thief
I'm only here
I'm a thief,
I'm a thief,
Because you stole my heart
Oh oh oh oooh oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
So put your hands up
Oh oh oh oooh oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving 'til I finished stealing,
Every piece of your heart
(I'm only here)
'Cause you stole my heart
Oh oh oooh oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Call me a theif
Oh oh oooh oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know your a part
Oh oh oooh oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
Oh oh oooh oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Because you stole my heart
