One Night
J.W. Roy & The One Night Band Lyrics

You say you're havin' my baby
The singer's partner claims to be pregnant with their child

But I don't know if it's mine (I don't know, I don't know)
The singer is unsure if they are the actual father of the child

It all started from a one night stand
The conception of the child was a result of a one-time sexual encounter

It wasn't part of the plan
The pregnancy was unexpected and not intended by either party

But now I see you got an attitude
The artist's partner has shown a change in behavior or mood

And you're so confused
The partner is in a state of uncertainty or lack of knowledge

You didn't tell me 'bout your man at home (Oh, yeah)
The partner failed to disclose that she was in a committed relationship

So what you gonna do? (Tell me now)
The artist is asking their partner what steps they are willing to take moving forward

Chillin' in the club on a Saturday night
The artist was socializing in a club on a weekend evening

Saw you across the bar; you were lookin' so fly
The artist noticed their partner across the room and found them attractive

I can't believe that you were also looking my way (Yes, you were, yes, you were)
The singer was surprised that their partner was interested in them

So I step to you with my game down tight (Yes, I did)
The artist approached their partner with self-assurance and charm

Before we knew it was on for tonight
The singer and their partner quickly progressed from flirting to a sexual encounter

Listen now, boy, you know just as well as I do
The partner is addressing the singer with familiarity and confidence

In order to go half on a baby, it takes a two; yes it does, yes it does, yes it does
Having a child requires both parents to be involved and take responsibility

And even though I had a man at home
The partner admits to being in a relationship with someone else

All we ever did was fuss and fight; things just wasn't right
The partner's relationship was tumultuous and unstable

Sick and tired of being mistreated, neglected for no reason
The partner was unhappy with the way they were treated in their previous relationship

When love was what I needed, he didn't care, so I cheated, yeah
The partner turned to infidelity as a response to feeling unloved and neglected

See, I know it was never meant to be
The artist knows that their current situation was not destined or predestined

You and me
The artist and their partner

But it's so hard, so hard for me to believe
The artist finds it difficult to accept the reality of the situation

That I'm havin' your baby, and it's drivin' me crazy, yeah
The prospect of having a child with their partner is causing the singer to feel overwhelmed or anxious

Okay now, I'm a step up and be a real man
The artist is committing to taking responsibility for their actions and the potential consequences of their actions

But you have to really tell me where I stand
The singer needs their partner to communicate openly and honestly with them

'Cause if it is mine, {It's yours} girl, I'm ready {Are you ready?}
The singer is willing to take on their role as a father if they are indeed the father of the child

To take responsibility {Oh, my baby}
The singer acknowledges that he must take ownership of his actions and be accountable

Say you're havin' my baby
The partner claims that the artist is the father of their child

But I don't know if it's mine (I don't know, I don't know if it's mine)
The artist is unsure if they truly are the father of the child

{I'm so confused, I don't know what to do}
The singer is feeling conflicted and uncertain of what steps to take next

One night stand
The singer and their partner had a one-time sexual encounter with no intention of a long-term relationship

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
The artist repeats the word "no" multiple times to emphasize their point or feeling
