One Night Stands
The night life has its glamor when you're lonely
It seems to help you make it for awhile
It calls to fools who think the only answer
Is wrapped up in a warm and willing smile
And so I went out searching every evening
Oh I'd drink the wine to whet my appetite
Till I'd find some pretty girl back in the corner
To be my life's companion for the night
But I just can't seem to take it anymore
I feel empty walking through a swinging door
Seeing all the lonely people just staring at the band
Wrapped inside their feelings playing one night stands
I'd take her home to tell her my sad story
I'd put a tear drop into every word
Oh I felt just like a genius when I made up
The lies that I don't think she even heard
The wine would start to bring us close together
Our lips would meet to quench a hungry thirst
We'd slip into a world of champagne feelings
But in the morning all the bubbles burst Repeat
Wrapped inside their feelings playing one night stands
It seems to help you make it for awhile
It calls to fools who think the only answer
Is wrapped up in a warm and willing smile
And so I went out searching every evening
Oh I'd drink the wine to whet my appetite
Till I'd find some pretty girl back in the corner
To be my life's companion for the night
But I just can't seem to take it anymore
I feel empty walking through a swinging door
Seeing all the lonely people just staring at the band
Wrapped inside their feelings playing one night stands
I'd take her home to tell her my sad story
I'd put a tear drop into every word
Oh I felt just like a genius when I made up
The lies that I don't think she even heard
The wine would start to bring us close together
Our lips would meet to quench a hungry thirst
We'd slip into a world of champagne feelings
But in the morning all the bubbles burst Repeat
Wrapped inside their feelings playing one night stands
