Temporary Fix
One Direction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw your body language and I know how you're feeling
And you look like the kind of girl who's tired of speaking
Standing with somebody but he doesn't know what you like

You caught my attention, you were looking at me first
Saw that I can teach you, waking up in my t-shirt
If you're not hooked to anything right now I can be your vice
All you need to know is

You can call me
When you're lonely
When you can't sleep
I'll be your temporary fix
You control me
Even if it's just tonight

You can call me
When you feel like
I'm your good time
I'll be your temporary fix
You can call me
I'm always what you like

Let me be your good night

Tonight is on your lips and I feel like I'm locked in
There's a million eyes, I don't care if they're watching
Your body is saying everything, I don't have to read your mind

Feel you on my neck while I'm calling a taxi
Climbing over me while I climb in the backseat
Now we're taking off, now we're taking it off tonight

All you need to know is

You can call me
When you're lonely
When you can't sleep
I'll be your temporary fix
You control me
Even if it's just tonight

You can call me
When you feel like
Having a good time
I'll be your temporary fix
You can call me
I'm always what you like

Let me be your good night

We can roll in the darkness
Let me touch you where your heart aches
And if you're feeling the weakness
Well, I told you, baby, that you can call me
I'll be your temporary fix
You can call me

You can call me
When you're lonely
When you can't sleep
I'll be your temporary fix
You control me
Even if it's just tonight

You can call me
When you feel like
Having a good time
I'll be your temporary fix
You can call me




I'm always what you like
Let me be your good night

Overall Meaning

The song "Temporary Fix" by One Direction from their fifth studio album "Made In The AM" is all about lust. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a one-night stand where the two strangers are drawn to each other for a bit of temporary happiness. The first verse talks about how the singer sees the woman's body language and how she looks fed up with her companion. He offers himself as a temporary fix for her problems and even calls himself a "vice" for her. The chorus then repeats the idea of the singer being a temporary fix for the woman's loneliness, lack of sleep, or need for a good time. The second verse talks about how the woman's body speaks for itself and how the two strangers engage in sexual activity in the backseat of a taxi. The bridge is a promise from the singer to be there for the woman when she needs him, even if it's just temporary.


This song is not a love song, but it's a song about lust, which has caused a bit of controversy among One Direction's fanbase. It's rumored that the song is about Harry Styles' love life, but that has never been confirmed. Nonetheless, "Temporary Fix" is a catchy pop song that's worth listening to, even if it's not the most romantic song in One Direction's discography.

You are with someone who doesn't understand your preferences


You caught my attention, you were looking at me first
You caught my eye because you were staring at me first


Saw that I can teach you, waking up in my t-shirt
I realized that I can show you new things, as evidenced by you waking up wearing my shirt


If you're not hooked to anything right now I can be your vice

There's a million eyes, I don't care if they're watching
There are numerous people around, but I don't care if they're watching us


Your body is saying everything, I don't have to read your mind
You're expressing everything you want through your movements, so I don't need to guess what you want


Feel you on my neck while I'm calling a taxi
I feel your presence on my neck while I'm trying to order a taxi


Climbing over me while I climb in the backseat
You're climbing over me as I attempt to get into the backseat of the car


Now we're taking off, now we're taking it off tonight
We're departing now and we're going to have a good time tonight


We can roll in the darkness Let me touch you where your heart aches And if you're feeling the weakness Well, I told you, baby, that you can call me I'll be your temporary fix You can call me
