One Thing

One Direction · Tubes Rentrée 2012 [2012]

I've tried playing it cool

But when I'm looking at you

I can't ever be brave

'Cause you make my heart race



Shot me out of the sky

You're my kryptonite

You keep making me weak

Yeah, frozen and can't breathe



Some things gotta give now

'Cause I'm dying just to make you see

That I need you here with me now

'Cause you've got that one thing



So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing



Now I'm climbing the walls

But you don't notice at all

That I'm going out of my mind

All day and all night



Some things gotta give now

'Cause I'm dying just to know your name

And I need you here with me now

'Cause you've got that one thing



So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing



So Get out, get out, get out of my mind

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing



oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

You've got that one thing



Get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead



So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing



So Get out, get out, get out of my mind

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing
