I Want

One Direction · Up All Night

Give you this, give you that

Blow a kiss, take it back

If I look inside your brain

I will find lots of things

Clothes, shoes, diamond rings

Stuff that's driving me insane



You could be pre-occupied

Different date every night

You just gotta say the word

But you're not into them at all

You just want material

I should know because I've heard



The girls say

I want, I want, I want

But that's crazy

I want, I want, I want

And that's not me

I want, I want, I want

To be loved by you



You've got everything you need

But you want accessories

Got to hold it in your hand

If I changed the world for you

I bet you wouldn't have a clue

Don't you know that I can't stand



When girls say

I want, I want, I want

But that's crazy

I want, I want, I want

And that's not me

I want, I want, I want

To be loved by you



Oh, and all the girls say

I want, I want, I want

But that's crazy

I want, I want, I want

And that's not me

I want, I want, I want

To be loved by you



Be loved by you

I wanna, I'll stay true

I wanna, if you knew

What you put me through

But you want, you want, you want me to love you too



I want, I want, I want

But that's crazy

I want, I want, I want

But that's not me

I want, I want, I want

To be loved by you



Oh, and all the girls say

I want, I want, I want

But that's crazy

I want, I want, I want

And that's not me

I want, I want, I want

To be loved by you



I want, I want, I want

And all the girls say

I want, I want, I want

But that's crazy

I want, I want, I want

But that's not me

I want, I want, I want

To be loved by you
