One Night - 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 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 finds your body kind of appealing

So he hits you with his favorite lie, yes

He’s looking you over

He whispers, «Let's get to know each other better, 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 till he gets his way now, baby-baby

So don’t gamble with your life

It don’t pay, 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

Oh, no

Don’t-don't, surely don’t

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, oh-yeah (It don’t pay)

Don’t pay (It don’t pay)

No, it don’t (It don’t pay)

Oh, no, it don’t, no, it don’t, no, it don’t, baby (It don’t pay)

Oh, yeah (It don’t pay)

Oh, yeah-yeah (It don’t pay)
