What makes you beautiful
By One Direction
★関係代名詞what(主格)「~するもの,事」
★make - O - C 「OをCの状態にする」
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 1]
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 Oh Oh
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
[*Chorus 2]
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 Oh oh
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) Oh oh That's ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
So c-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
[*Chorus1,2 Repeat]
[Bridge]
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
[Chorus1 Repeat]
[Chorus1、2 Repeat]
