One Night Only Lyrics

[Verse 1: EFFIE]
You want all my love and my devotion
You want my lovin' soul right on the line
I have no doubt that I can love you forever
The only trouble is you really don't have the time

[Chorus: EFFIE]
You've got one night only
One night only
That's all you have to spare
One night only
Let's not pretend to care
One night only
One night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have till dawn

[Verse 2: EFFIE]
In the morning, this feeling will be gone
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, it's one night I will give

[Segue]

[Interlude: ANNOUNCER]
Singing their new record sensation, Deena Jones and the Dreams!

[Verse 3: DEENA]
You want all my love and my devotion, yes you do
You want my loving soul right on the line
I have no doubt that I could love you forever
The only trouble is I really really don't have the time
I've got

[Chorus: THE DREAMS, DEENA ONLY]
One night only
One night only
That's all I have to spare
One night only
Let's not pretend to care
One night only
One night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have till dawn
(We only have till dawn)

[Verse 4: DEENA]
In the morning, this feeling will be gone (Will be gone)
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, it's one night I will give

[Chorus: THE DREAMS, DEENA ONLY]
One night only
One night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have till dawn
(Love me for one night)
One night only
One night only
There's nothing more to say
One night only
Words get in the way
(Love me for one night)

[Outro: LORRELL & MICHELLE, DEENA ONLY]
(One night only)
Ooh, baby
(One night only)
Just give me one night to spare (One night)
Ooh, baby, baby
(One night, one night, one night, one night, one night)
One night
One night, baby
