I Would is the ninth track from One Direction's album Take Me Home.
Critical Reception[]
Billboard stated: ""I Would" might be tucked away in the back half of the album, but it's one of "Take Me Home's" best surprises. Written by Danny Jones of McFly, "I Would" it isn't afraid to get cute, telling a tale about yearning for a girl who has a tough-guy boyfriend with "27 tattoos." Musically, the uptempo number is a winner as well; when the 1D boys harmonize on the song's title line, there is some actual catharsis present!" [1]
Lyrics[]
[Liam]
Lately I found myself thinking
Been dreaming about you a lot
And up in my head I’m your boyfriend
But that’s one thing you’ve already got
[Harry]
He drives to school every morning
While I walk alone in the rain
He’d kill me without any warning
If he took a look in my brain
[Zayn]
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well if it was me then I would (I would)
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would (I would)
[All]
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well if it was me then I would (I would)
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would
[Niall]
Back in my head we were kissing
I thought things were going alright
With a sign on my back saying ‘kick me’
Reality ruined my life
[Louis]
Feels like I’m constantly playing
A game that I’m destined to lose
'Cause I can’t compete with your boyfriend
He’s got 27 tattoos
[Zayn]
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well if it was me then I would (I would)
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would (I would)
[All]
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well if it was me then I would (I would)
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would (I would, I would)
[Louis]
Would he please you?
Would he kiss you?
Would he treat you like I would (I would)?
Would he touch you?
Would he need you?
Would he love you like I would?
[Harry]
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would
[Louis] & [Zayn]
Would he please you? Would he please you?
Would he kiss you? Would he kiss you?
Would he treat you like I would? (like I would)
Would he touch you? Would he touch you?
Would he need you? Would he need you?
Would he love you like I would?
[All]
Would he say he’s in L-O-V-E?
Well if it was me then I would (I would)
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would, I would, yeah, I would, yeah
