One night stand
The Expendables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you gonna stay tonight
You can't afford to be alone
My car is parked right outside
When the morning comes I'll give you a ride
After this night of lust it's gonna be alright
You're 12 beers deep
Stumbling over you're feet
Aren't you glad… that I made you…
Come into my bed as we quickly undress
The Floppy Rods are bumping on my stereo
It's 3 in the morning,
The night is gone without warning
I don't think I want this night to ever end
We're going deep
Feel a tingle in your feet
It's so cold outside Yeah,
Aren't you glad… that I made you, MINE?
Our love is just skin deep
I'm strapping shoes on my feet
Gonna go outside
Aren't you glad … that I made you mine?
Where you gonna go when the morning comes around
Are you going to leave before I awake
You don't remember my name
For me it's just the same
And we were just another one night stand
And we were just another one night stand
The Expendables’ song “One Night Stand” is a song featuring a story of a one night stand, where the singer meets a woman who can’t afford to be alone in the night. He offers her to spend the night with him and assures her that he will give her a ride home once morning comes. The lyrics suggest that the woman is drunk and the singer is taking advantage of the situation by having her come into his bed as they quickly undress. The song describes a wild night of lust, where both the singer and the woman express their desire to stay together forever.
However, towards the end of the song, it’s revealed that theirs is a one night stand and the woman leaves before dawn. The singer suggests that he doesn’t remember the woman’s name, and even though they had an intense connection, it was just a momentary fling.
The lyrics to The Expendables’ “One Night Stand” offer an honest take on the popular practice of hookups and one-night stands. It portrays the emotional distance that sometimes characterizes these short-term relationships and emphasizes that sometimes the experience means more to one person than to the other. The song is an expression of the freedom that comes with such purely physical connections and encourages not being too caught up in the past.
