Lyrics[]

[Liam]
From the moment I met you everything changed
I knew I had to get you whatever the pain

[Harry]
I had to take you and make you mine

[Niall]
Take you and make you mine

[Liam]
I would walk through the desert
I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile

[Harry]
Whatever it takes is fine

[Niall]
Whatever it takes is fine

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Harry]
So put your hands up

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Harry]
'Cause it’s a stand up

[Harry]
I won’t be leaving
‘Til I finish stealing
Every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart

[Louis]
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

[Niall]
It hurts me to think that you've ever cried (You’ve ever cried)

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Harry]
So put your hands up

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Harry]
'Cause it’s a stand up

[Harry]
I won’t be leaving
‘Til I finish stealing
Every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Harry]
So put your hands up

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Harry]
'Cause it’s a stand up

[Harry]
I won’t be leaving
‘Til I finish stealing
Every piece of your heart

[Zayn]
And I will steal us a car
And we will drive to the stars.
I will give you the moon
It’s the least I can do
If you give me the chance...

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Niall]
So put your hands up

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh

[Niall]
'Cause it’s a stand up

[All]
(I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Harry]
You can call me a thief

[All]
(I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Harry]
But you should know your part

[All]
(I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Harry]
I’m only here

[All]
(I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Harry]
Because you stole my heart

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh (I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Harry]
So put your hands up

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh (I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Harry]
'Cause it’s a stand up

[Harry]
I won’t be leaving
'Til I finish stealing (Zayn: I'm only here)
Every piece of your heart


[Zayn]
'Cause you stole my heart

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh (I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Zayn]
Call me a thief

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh (I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Zayn]
But you should know your part

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh (I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Zayn]
I’m only here

[All]
Oh oh ohh oh (I’m a thief, I’m a thief)

[Zayn]
Because you stole my heart
