Little black dress
Just walked into the room
Makin' heads turn
Can't stop looking at you
It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know
Little black dress
Did you come here alone?
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late to go home

It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know
It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know

I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me

Little black dress
Who you doin' it for?
Little black dress
I can't take anymore
It's not right
It's not right
It's not right you know

Little black dress
What's your favorite song?
Little black dress
I won't do you no harm

It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know
It's so right
It's so right
'Cause I'll take you home

I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me

I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me

I wanna see the way you move for me baby




I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me

One Direction - Little Black Dress (lyrics):

[Harry Styles & Louis Tomlinson]:
Little Black Dress just walked into the room
Making heads turn, can't stop looking at you
It's all right, it's all right, it's alright you know
Little Black Dress, did you come here alone?
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to go home
It's so right, it's so right, it's so right you know
It's so right, it's so right, it's so right you know

[Chorus: Louis Tomlinson & Harry Styles]:
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me

[Harry Styles & Louis Tomlinson]:
Little Black Dress, who you doin' it for?
Little Black Dress, I can't takin' it more.
It's not right, it's not right, it's not right ya know?
Little Black Dress, watch your favourite song?
Little Black Dress, I won't do you no harm
It's so right, it's so right, it's so right you know
It's so right, it's so right, it's so right cause i'll take you home.

[Chorus: Harry and Louis]:
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me

[Chorus: Harry and Louis]
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me


[Chorus: All]:
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me



Finally Louis is having more solo time, Harry and Louis are killing it. Larry Stylinson 4 life. Also Louis and Harry were only singing themselves.
