One Night (1995) Songtext
von Mariah Carey

Baby, don′t you know
That life is sweet
It swiftly goes
So I just gotta know
That it's more than lust (so in love)
That you′re worth my trust (so in love)
You gotta search inside yourself
And purely open up to me

Before I'll be with you, you
You gotta give me something sacred
More than merely physical (so in love)
One night's not enough
Gotta be certain
I′m so in love with you


It′s just another Saturday evening
He's watching all the girls go by
He′ll find your body kind of appealing
So he hits you with his favorite lie, yes
He's looking you over
He whispers "Lеt′s get to know each other bеtter, baby"
He's moving in closer
But what you see may not be the entirety
So be wary

He′s just out for the one night
He just wants you 'til he gets his way now, baby, baby
So don't gamble with your life
It don′t pay (don′t!)
(Baby, baby, baby, don't)
(Baby, baby, no, no no)

You see her standing there on the corner
Sashaying as the cars go by
You casually look over your shoulder
As she winks at you and bats her eyes, yes
You′re thinking about it
Your conscience tells you to go
But something's in the way now
The prospect′s arousing
You think just this once can't hurt them
But you might have another thing coming


You′re just out for a good time
Baby, so later you'll forget her name (now baby, baby)
So don't gamble with your life, it don′t pay
(Don′t don't, surely don′t pay)
(Just a little advice now)
(Baby, baby)
(You'd better think twice now)

You′re just out for the one night
But it's more than just a little game now, baby, baby
So don′t gamble with your life, it don't pay
Yeah, it don't pay

No no, don′t pay
It don′t pay
No no no no no it don't
It don′t pay
No, it don't, no, it don′t
It don't pay
It don′t pay
It don't pay
It don't pay
