(Music & Lyrics: Ackerson)
Don’t think I didn’t see you standing there, like every other guy in here
Just because I didn’t stop and stare
Don’t think that I don’t love the way you smell, just because you couldn’t tell
How I chose to show you that I care
You see, the temperature is rising and our bodies are reacting
So we tell ourselves lies, the way we do when we’re attracted
Like nothing’s more important than the moment that we’re in
But the moment will be gone for us, if that’s the way we spend it
I don’t wanna be with you for just one night (It’s just one night)
I won’t patronize and tell you that it just isn’t right (It feels so right)
‘Cause there’s another explanation for the way that I act (I want you)
I don’t wanna be something that you’ll wanna take back
I know you’ve had a little alcohol, your inhibitions set to fall
You’re telling me you like the way I sing
And though I’d love to take the compliment, I know it wasn’t what you meant
Not to say it doesn’t mean a thing
Oh, to make it with an angel who is running from her demons
Just to join them in the morning when we wake up from this dream and see
Nothing more between us and the moment we were in
Then a, “how are you… good morning… I hope I never see you again”
I don’t wanna be with you for just one night (It’s just one night)
Probably think that I don’t like you if I put up a fight (Please don’t fight)
But there’s a better explanation for the way that I act (I want you)
I don’t wanna be something that you’ll wanna take back
Please listen carefully (Say my name)
So I know that you’re hearing me (‘Cause I’ll be)
‘Cause I told you the truth, that I wanted to know you (Famous)
If you could just trust me to show you (Someday)
All that I’m saying is wait and see, try the possibilities
Everything is open to us now…
And I’m asking for your number cause I really wanna use it
And I hope you’ll take a chance on me, but either way you choose
It will be better for the both of us to stop and look ahead
Than to take a shot at permanence and spend it in a temporary bed
I don’t wanna be with you for just one night (It’s just one night)
Rather wait so I can have another day by your side (By my side)
Maybe then will start to see this as the love that we lack (I want you)
And then I’ll never be something that you’ll wanna take…
I never wanna be something that you’ll wanna take… (You)
I don’t wanna be something… that you’ll wanna take back (You)
That you’ll wanna take back, that you’ll wanna take back
Wanna take back
