Lyrics for One Night Stand

Well good morning how your doing honey I've got to tell you I never met a girl so funny yeah Hmmm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand You know your a quiet a girl, you sure are pretty With just you in it this is one fine city yeah Hmm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand But I've got to be in Buffalo by 8'o clock tonight, playing in some two bit dive Selling little bits of my soul for 80 bucks a weeks, Eh hell it keeps the rest of me alive But I sure like to stay and get to know you better I'd say I would write but you'd never get a letter yeah Hmm I wish it wasn't a one night stand Hey why don't you take off work and let's go for a ride Some place special just for us We could take along a picnic and find a place to hide Yeah I know I've got to catch a bus, well it's sure been nice I might even miss you Hey what's your name come here I'm gonna kiss you Yeah hmm I wish it wasn't a one night stand.
