Lyrics
She was born on the rich side,
I met her on the poor side of town.
She sipped her chardonnay
While we boys drained our beers down.
"Tonight," she said, "let's live it up,"
And bought us all another round.
She said, "Tonight I'm single,
Tomorrow I'll be altar bound."
It was just a one-night stand
But I can't get her off my mind.
For one night, she lived it up,
And now, I just can't live her down.
She said, "I'm feeling tipsy,"
And could I walk her to her car.
I said I better drive her home.
She asked me, could I spend the night.
(Repeat Chorus)
The nights are the hardest
With memories that won't die.
You dream of a woman - the sadness that's in her eyes.
Your time was in hours, but memories are for life.
You're longing to hold her, but wake up with empty arms.
One night, I'm deep in whiskey.
When she came in and she sat down
She drained down my glass
And ordered us another round.
(She said) "It was just a one-night stand
But I couldn't get you off my mind.
For one night, I lived it up,
And now, I just can't live you down."
Yes, it was just a one-night stand
But we couldn't get it off our minds.
For one night, we lived it up,
And now, we just can't live it down.
Yes, for one night we lived it up
And now we just can't live it down.
