One Night Stand (March 1969 studio outtake) Songtext
von Janis Joplin

When I′m on the road playin' in a town without a name
And I′m feelin' low an' everybody looks the same
Well, you catch my eye
And then you come on strong an′ try to make your play
Just because we loved tonight
Please don′t you think it's gonna stay that way

Don′t you know that you're nothin′ more than a one night stand
Tomorrow I'll be on my way, an′ you can catch me if you can
Honey, take me by the hand and play that game again, yeah

Everywhere I go, the people wanna make some time with me
That's okay, if the next day I can be free
Well, it's feelin′ good and you′re the one I'm lovin′ tonight
Well, don't you go and spoil it, babe
By trying to get yourself all uptight


Don′t you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand
I′ll be on my way an' you can catch me if you can
Honey, take me by the hand and play that game again, yeah

When I'm on the road, playin′ in a town without a name
Honey, I′m feelin' low and everyone looks the same
Well, it′s a lookin' good and you′re the one that's loved me tonight
Don′t you go and spoil it babe, by trying to get yourself all uptight

Don't you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand
I′ll be one my way an′ you can catch me if you can
Honey, take me by the hand and play that game again

Don't you know that you′re nothing more than a one night stand
Oh, I'll be on my way, you can catch me if you can
Honey, take me by the hand and play that game again

Don′t you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand
Lord
Lord
