One night stand
Longo And Wainwright feat. Craig Smart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I see you, I get blown away
Something inside me is taking over
I start st-stuttering; can't find the words to say
I feel the opposite of sober

It's what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It's like I'm in a dream
And when I wake up I know that you're still here with me

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away

When I see you, I get blown away
Something inside me is taking over
I start st-stuttering; can't find the words to say
I feel the opposite of sober

It's what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It's like I'm in a dream
And when I wake up I know that you're still here with me

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away
So take me away
So take me away (take me away)

Ooh
We got one life, we got one heart
Ooh

I'm so in this, I can touch the sky
It's like we're on a roller coaster
My body's aching
And you're the reason why
Why don't you come a little closer

It's what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It's like I'm in a dream
And when I wake up I know that you're still here with me

So take me away

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand




So take me away
So take me away
