One Direction "What Makes You Beautiful" Lyric Video on YouTube

Using music in the English language classroom is a great way to motivate students to study English harder. Also, using music as well as music videos demonstrates to the English language students that the English language is everywhere; not only in the classroom.

Here in Japan, lots of my female students still love One Direction. Therefore, I sometimes use their song, "What Makes You Beautiful", in my English listening comprehension lessons.

Here are the lyrics to "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction

Songwriters: Carl Falk / Rami Yacoub / Savan Kotchea

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 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 You don't know you're beautiful

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 You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh That's what makes you beautiful

So 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 eye eye eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it Everyone else but you

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 You don't know you're beautiful

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 You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh That's what makes you beautiful

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 You don't know you're beautiful

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 You don't know you're beautiful

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 You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh

That's what makes you beautiful
