One Night Stands

(앨범: One Night Stands - 1977)

The night life has its glamor when you're lonely
It seems to help you make it for awhile
It calls to fools who think the only answer
Is wrapped up in a warm and willing smile

And so I went out searching every evening
Oh I'd drink the wine to whet my appetite
Till I'd find some pretty girl back in the corner
To be my life's companion for the night

But I just can't seem to take it anymore
I feel empty walking through a swinging door
Seeing all the lonely people just staring at the band
Wrapped inside the feelings
(Wrapped inside the feelings)
Playing one night stands

I'd take her home to tell her my sad story
I'd put a teardrop into every word
Oh I felt just like a genius when I made up
The lies that I don't think she even heard

The wine would start to bring us close together
Our lips would meet to quench a hungry thirst
We'd slip into a world of champagne feelings
But in the morning all the bubbles burst

And I just can't seem to take it anymore...
No I just can't seem to take it anymore...

(Wrapped inside the feelings)
Playing one night stands
