“Best Song Ever”
By One Direction
Maybe it’s the way she walked
Straight into my heart and stole it
Through the doors and past the guards
Just like she already own it
I said can you give it back to me
She said never in your wildest dreams
Chorus
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line now I can’t remember
How it goes but I know that I won’t forget her
‘Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
I think it went, oh, oh, oh
I think it went, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it goes
Said her name was Georgia Rose
And her daddy was a dentist
Said I had a dirty mouth
But she kissed me like she meant it
I said can I take you home with me
She said never in your wildest dreams
(Chorus)
You know, I know, you know
I’ll remember you
And I know, you know, I know
You’ll remember me
And you know, I know
You know I’ll remember you
And I know, you know
I hope you’ll remember how we danced
(Chorus)
