“Girl Almighty”
By One Direction
Oh, no, no, no
Her light is as loud as
As many ambulances
As it takes to save a saviour
Whoa, whoa, whoa
She floats through the room
On a big balloon
Some say she’s such a fake
That her love is made up
No, no, no, no
Let’s have another toast
To the girl almighty
Let’s pray we stay young
Stay made out of lightning
Chorus
Am I the only
Only believer?
There’s something happening here
There’s something happening here
The only
Only believer
There’s something happening here
I hope you feel what I’m feeling too
I get down, I get down
I get down on my knees for you
I get down, I get down
I get down on my knees
I get down on my knees for you
(Chorus)
