One night stand
3 Feet Smaller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was drunken and horny too
I went out with my friends and
All I wanted was a girl like you
You came with me to my flat
And we did it all night long
I woke up and she said
I think it's time now to go home
I don't now
Why you got to go
You were just another one night stand
You left me here with my right hand
Just another one night stand
Four, 3, 2, 1 night stand
I said to myself
That this will never happen again
The next time I'll lock the door
Before she can leave in the morning
Said and done, you're the one
Who's going to spend the night with me
I woke up and was alone
'Cause she jumped out of the window
The lyrics of "One Night Stand" by 3 Feet Smaller are quite self-explanatory. The song is about a reckless night of passion with a girl who was looking for nothing more than a one-time physical relationship. It is a narrative of getting drunk, making the wrong choices, hooking up, and waking up feeling empty and alone. The singer wakes up to realize that the girl is gone, and he is left to deal with the aftermath of a casual fling.
The opening lines of the song are indicative of the main theme: "It all started last night; I was drunken and horny too." The singer's sole purpose that night was to find a girl for a one night stand, and it seemed that he had found the right person. They went back to his place and had sex all night long. The morning after, the girl left, leaving him feeling rejected and uncared for. The singer is confused and seems not to understand why the girl has to go.
In the chorus of the song, we see the main message that the singer is just another person in this girl's life who had a one-night stand. He's left feeling empty-handed, wondering whether he'll find love someday. The lyrics "You were just another one night stand. You left me here with my right hand" represent how the singer is left to masturbate, as the girl he had a one night stand with left him feeling empty-handed.
Line by Line Meaning
It all started last night
The story begins with the events that took place last night
I was drunken and horny too
I was heavily intoxicated and in the mood for hooking up with someone
I went out with my friends and
I stepped out with my friends in order to have some fun
All I wanted was a girl like you
I was looking for someone who was just like you to spend the night with
You came with me to my flat
You decided to come with me to my apartment
And we did it all night long
We had sex throughout the entire night
I woke up and she said
When I woke up, she spoke, saying...
I think it's time now to go home
I believe it's time for me to head back to my own house
I don't now
I am unsure why...
Why you got to go
...you had to leave and couldn't stay for a bit longer.
You were just another one night stand
You were no different from any other brief, sexual encounter I've had
You left me here with my right hand
You abandoned me, leaving me without anyone to be intimate with besides myself
Just another one night stand
You were merely a casual physical encounter
Four, 3, 2, 1 night stand
There have been multiple one night stands, with varying lengths of time, including a four night stand
I said to myself
I made the following statement privately...
That this will never happen again
...that I would not allow myself to repeat this experience
The next time I'll lock the door
In the future, I will ensure that the door is locked securely so that my partner will not leave early
Before she can leave in the morning
So that she can't escape before I've had enough time with her
Said and done, you're the one
I put my plan into action and selected you as the partner to spend the night with
Who's going to spend the night with me
You were the lucky one who would spend a night with me
I woke up and was alone
When I woke up, I realized that you had left
'Cause she jumped out of the window
You had to make a fast exit by leaping out of my apartment window
