One Night Affair

Oh I'll never let you under my skin

Baby, I just could not stand, um, hum

To be hurt again

Um, hum, ooh wee, baby, ooh, hoo, listen lady

He'll wine and dine you, take you anywhere you wanna go

Oh, but when the night is over

Hey, you just may not see me no more

All I want is a one night affair that won't hurt nobody

One night affair

Hey, I'll hit 'n' run, you son of a gun

But I'll hit 'n' run, but it could be fun, I said

I don't wanna love nobody

Don't wanna take me a while

Girl, you just may not be ready

To go steady for the rest of your life

So for that reason, a one night affair

It'll be alright, a one night affair, let's start tonight

Hit 'n' run, aha son of a gun

I gonna hit 'n' run, yes, I mean it, yes, I mean it

'Cause you see I've been a lonely man

And I want you to understand

That I'll never let you under my skin

'Cause I don't want to be hurt again

Oh no, baby

(Hit 'n' run)

Um, hum

(Son of a gun)

I couldn't stand it, baby

(Hit 'n' run)

No, no, no, no, now

A one night affair, sounds in a hurry

A one night affair but you don't have to worry

I'll hit and run, I'll be a son of a gun

And I know you have been lonely too

That's why you will understand

Why a broken heart is so harder to mend

But one of these day, I'll be alright

If you just let me love you tonight

And though it may sound a little temporary

Sometimes, baby, it's so necessary

A one night affair, I declare

One night affair

Hey, just hit 'n' run, I'll be a son of a gun

Said I'll hit 'n' run, yes I will, yes I will, baby

One night affair won't hurt nobody

A one night affair

Baby

(Hit 'n' run)

Won't you be mine

(Son of a gun)

For just a little while

(Hit 'n' run)

Hey, won't you be mine

Won't you hold me

One night affair

Oh, baby
