The Vamps, Shawn Mendes Team Up For 'Oh Cecilia' Cover

The lads are set to release their Simon & Garfunkel cover, with help from Mendes, next month...

Thursday, September 4, 2014 - 12:24

The Vamps have teamed up with rising star Shawn Mendes on their next single.

The group confirmed they've collaborated with Mendes on a new version of Meet The Vamps album track Oh Cecilia - which is due for release on October 12.

The new improved version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic also features new lyrics written by Bradley, Connor, Tristan and James.

Mendes recently joined The Vamps on Austin Mahone's North American tour, along with X Factor USA act Fifth Harmony.

The 16-year old got his big break after being discovered on Vine and securing a record deal, with Shawn later topping the US iTunes chart with his first original track, Life Of The Party.

Oh Cecilia will be The Vamps fifth UK single, following Top 5 hits Can We Dance, Wild Heart, Last Night and Demi Lovato collaboration, Somebody To You.

Yeah, you!

Yeah, you!

I used to wanna be, living like there's only me
But now I spend my time
Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind (yeah, you!)
I used to be so tough, never really gave enough
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike (yeah, you!)

Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh-oh-oh, now!

All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you, I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (yeah, you!)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha)

I used to run around, I didn't wanna settle down
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face (yeah, you!)
I've got your photograph, but baby, I need more than that
I need to know your lips
Nothing ever mattered to me more than this (yeah, you!)

Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh-oh-oh, now!

All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you, I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (yeah, you!)

Look at me now, I'm falling
Can't even talk, still stuttering
All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, you!)

All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (yeah, you!)

All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (somebody to you)
All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (yeah, you!)
Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you, I just don't care (I just don't care)
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Is somebody to you (somebody to you)

'Cause all I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

Yeah, you!
Yeah, you!
