"Common People" lyrics

"Common People"

I came from a good home
A house full of terraced dreams
That was enough for me
You know, you had to see it to believe

All the late nights, good times
The mistakes and the heartbreaks
When I get lost, I go back to where I started

(Ooh)
Common people, nothing's changed (Ooh)
You'll hear strangers singin' your name (Ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
Common people, not who you know (Ooh)
But just how far you're willin' to go? (Ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
If you act like you're one of us

I took her to the local
No deep pockets, but big hearts
Do you see what I see?
Now, we're all out screamin' on the dancefloor

All the late nights and the good times
And the heartbreaks, the mistakes
When I get lost, I go back to where I started

(Ooh)
Common people, nothing's changed (Ooh)
You'll hear strangers singin' your name(Ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
Just act like you're one of us (Ooh)
Common people, not who you know (Ooh)
But just how far you're willin' to go? (Ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (Ooh)
If you act like you're one of us

Common people, nothing's changed
You'll hear strangers singin' your name
If you act like you're one of us
Just act like you're one of us
Common people, not who you know
But just how far you're willin' to go?
If you act like you're one of us
Just act like you're one of us

(One of us)
Just act like you're one of us
(One of us)

"Common People" is a tribute to Louis Tomlinson's hometown, Doncaster. He said, "I'm at an age in my life where there's a lot of looking forward and looking back, thinking about good times and good memories. Doncaster is a massive part of me, I finished my European tour there, and it was extra special to play there. Even though I played Wembley Arena the night before, it was one of those pinch-yourself moments."
