Lyrics to "Oh Cecilia (Zayn Malik Edition)" By the Vamps:
"Zayn Malik, you're breaking my heart.
You've left Louis, Liam, Niall, and Harry
I turn my laptop on, One Direction look wrong.
Why would you do this for me?
You did the high notes and I loved it
Your hair was sexy. I loved it
But then you left us like a Naughty Boy
Now my whole world's void of any kind of joy.
I think I'm gonna need, a tissue.
Now I've got everything, except you.
Moved on from the band, so confused.
Who's gonna do the singing on, "It's Gotta Be You?"
I turn the radio up and it's just my luck
Why did you leave?
It just feels so out of place to not see your nice face
Now everybody knows you won't be at their shows.
Instead you'll be kissing Perrie.
Oh, Zayn Malik, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come back
I know you've had a stressful time and want normality
But that leaked track that was online really excited me.
Oh please, oh please promise me we'll get a solo CD.
So you can finally come back, come back to me."
