One Direction's Louis Tomlinson has reacted to complaint about his band's "sexualised" lyrics by posting a cheeky response on Twitter.

The 22-year-old made fun of the complaint made by parents because they thought the lyrics of `Live While We're Young` were too explicit for them to sing, reports contactmusic.com.

Louis took to Twitter and defended the lyrics "Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young" by posting: "Dear Mr and Mrs Stone, I'm deeply saddened by your complaint to Chelsea High School regarding our lyrics (sic)."

He added: "I hope the two of you 'get some' very soon. (sic)."

The response was retweeted by more than 70,000 people.
