One Life Stand

Tell me where you've been to
Nowhere that you shouldn't do
tell me what you're good for
I can tell you something too
Where have you been staying
tell me what you're playing
Hope its not my conscious
But it keeps complaining
Didn't meet you in an alley
The cats they weren't complaining
I met you in the daylight
Our visions misbehaving
I offer you my temper
With the hope that you would tame me
We built ourselves a shelter
You will always be my baby
(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)
Wishes keep remaining
Nothing will contain it
A baloon where they're escapin'
Theres nothing but a play thing
Moments keep us guessing
And lead us from temptation
But better to embrace them
And measure our relation
(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling )
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)
