Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, some of the crowd are on the pitch
Well, some of the crowd are on the pitch
They think it's all over
Well, it is now
[Verse 2]
Express yourself, create the space
You know you can win, don't give up the chase
Beat the man, take him on
You never give up, it's one on one
[Verse 3]
(Express yourself)
It's one on one
(Express yourself)
It's one on one
(Express yourself)
You can't be wrong
When something's good it's never gone
(Express yourself)
[Verse 4]
Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
[Verse 5]
Now is the time, let everyone see
You never give up, that's how it should be
Don't get caught, make your own play
Express yourself, don't give it away
[Verse 6]
(Express yourself, it's one on one)
It's one on one
(Express yourself, it's one on one)
It's one on one
(Express yourself, it's one on one)
It can't be wrong
When something's good it's never gone
(Express yourself, it's one on one)
[Verse 7]
Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
[Verse 8]
Love's got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Love's got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
[Verse 9]
You've got to hold and give but do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them, get 'round the back
Catch me if you can 'cause I'm the England man
And what you're looking at is the master plan
We ain't no hooligans, this ain't no football song
Three lions on my chest, I know we can't go wrong
[Verse 10]
We're playing for England
(England)
We're playing this song
We're singing for England
(England)
Arrivederci, it's one on one
We're playing for England
(England)
We're playing this song
We're singing for England
(England)
Arrivederci, it's one on one
We're playing for England
(England)
We're playing this song
We're singing for England
(England)
Arrivederci, it's one on one
We're playing for England
(England)
We're playing this song
We're singing for England
(England)
Arrivederci, it's one on one
