Comparative

Work it harder, make it better

Do it faster, makes us stronger

More than ever, hour after hour

Work is never over

Superlative
I said, "can you give it back to me?"
She said, "never in your wildest dreams"
She said, "never in your wildest dreams"
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her
'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever

Best Song Ever by One Direction
