One Night Stand

He was the same as I remembered him Back when we were younger He stole my breath the moment We locked eyes across the room Stayed up all night until the morning caught me Bitching about the patriarchy And I played coy to see how high he'd trace my inner thigh I know he only wants a one night stand But I'm wishing he would be my man I know he said it wouldn't work out and I believed it then But now it's different He wants a one night stand I want a life full of nights with him Well I was shy but I was drinking wine And we were inching towards closing time Catching up on all them lost years Of anxiety attacks He pulled me from my barstool A little tipsy With the radio blaring Fist City Lead me parking lot with his palm atop The small of my back And he was singing along to that Loretta Lynn song I know he only wants a one night stand But I'm wishing he would be my man I know he said it wouldn't work out and I believed it then But now it's different He wants a one night stand I want a life full of nights with him And maybe I'm a little bit naive, baby But I been ruminating on the ways love has saved me And when I'm waking in his arms in the morning Disarmed by the need for him that's forming Now we're sitting on the front porch with coffee He's got a touch of cream but I drink mine black And when I take his hand in mine, he don't stop me Cause when the timings right you take it in and don't look back He got a one night stand I got a life full of nights with him I got a life full of nights with him
