What Makes You Beautiful Lyrics

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

Baby you light up...

    I feel this way about someone except in my case this song is about a man. He is beautiful from the inside out. He doesn't know he is beautiful on the inside. People like thst are hard to find. Even his flaws are beautiful.

    this song is about a girl and or girls who think that they are ugly but the boy and or boys think otherwise so people who think that your ugly dont think that you are beautiful dont let people tell you otherwise (for girls) you are even beautiful without make-up dont listen to other people andont let them tell you your ugly ignore those people you are beautiful just the way you are

    The girl says she's ugly so people will tell her otherwise and make her feel good about herself. The guy/s notice how attractive she is and fall in love with her for her appearance rather than personality.

    For all the women who look down on themselves and think there just not good enough. Well newsflash! There is everyone for everyone.

    This song is about a girl who is shy/negative about herself & we're trying to make her feel better

    I think it doesn't necessarily mean she isn't beautiful, just that she isn't the kind of girl to flaunt it. I think the song is to a shy girl who doesn't recognize her own beauty & he's trying to make he realize it.

    This song is about a boy who loves a beautiful girl. The girl as a matter of fact does not know that she is beautiful. She is not self conscious of her looks nor her figure like many other girls. Everyone but her knew of her beauty. She felt shy whenever she walks in a crowded room and when people looked at her beautiful eyes. The boy really loved her because of this and in fact referred to as 'what makes her beautiful'.
    In my personal opinion, I would like every girl to be like this girl and stop acting cocky just because they are beautiful. The true value of a girl is her inside and not her outside appearence

    this is a song written to make girls feel all good inside and has no real meaning, 1D sucks and they just play on the fact that girls die for them and know that it will sell

    I think this is probably the most STUPID song ever written/invented/sung.

    Obviously, the girl is a pathetic, self-centered MORON. "The turning heads when you walk through the door?" and she still "don't know you're beautiful?" -___-

    She's a depressed no-brain girl, so lost in her own thought that "I'm not beautiful. I'm so darn ugly. I'm so pathetic." I mean, GET A LIFE. Everyone is beautiful.

    And the guy is a jerk. Liking someone just because she's beautiful/pretty/has big boobs is very PATHETIC and... USELESS.

    This song is about the beauty that life can provide you with if you seize the moment and and never let it go not even if it begs and pleads and threatens to call the cops. The moment is your moment and it has no rights of its own, being simply a moment. So treat the moment with no dignity and demand a large amount of money from the moments relatives, and once you have acquired the large sum of money spend it on alcohol.

    It's about a girl who is not attractive but the guy looks through all that and to him she is beautiful
