"What Makes You Beautiful"
By One Direction

You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads
When you walk through the door
Don't need make up to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

Chorus

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair
Gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
But that's what makes you beautiful

So come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

(Chorus)
