Stand Up Lyrics

From the moment I met you, everything changed
I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
I had to take you and make you mine

I would walk through the desert
I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile
Whatever it takes is fine

So put your hands up
Cause it's a Stand Up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart

I know your hearts been broken
But don't you give up
I'll be there, yeah I know it
To fix you with love
It hurts me to think that you've ever cried

So put your hands up
Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart
So put your hands up
Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing every piece of your heart

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

So put your hands up
Cause it's a stand up

(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
You can call me a thief
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know your part
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Because you stole my heart

(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
So put your hands up
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving till I finish stealing every piece of your heart

Cause you stole my heart
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Call me a thief
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know your part
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Because you stole my heart

Stand Up

This song is a bonus track on the Limited Yearbook Edition of Up All Night. It was written by Roy Stride, who is the frontman of Scouting For Girls, a group who have clocked up several Top 10 hits in their native UK, including "Elvis Ain't Dead," "Heartbeat" and the chart-topping "This Ain't A Love Song."

Stride also had a song shortlisted for 1D's third album, Midnight Memories, but it didn't make the final cut. Asked how he approaches writing a track for the biggest boyband in the world, Stride told Digital Spy : "I used to think, 'Ah, let's write a song for a boyband,' whereas now I've just realised you've got to write a f---ing good song. To get on a One Direction album - every single songwriter in the world wants to get on it - you've just got to write an absolutely amazing song. I don't think about who it's for, I've just got to write something that is amazing."
