One Night Stand

Words and Music by Wes Farrell and Paul Anka

Cm                                 G
Every night - a different town - I sing my song
Cm         G
I play and sing - pack my things and move along

  Cm            Bb             Eb           F
A pretty face, another place I never get to know
Ab          Bb             Cm
a one night stand, another show

Cm                             G
My guitar - a railroad car - a bus or plane
Cm                                      G
Chocolate bar - and there you are - the price of fame

Cm                 Bb             Eb             F
If I could do what I want to, I'd stay and never go
Ab          Bb             Cm
a one night stand is all I know


Gm                         Ab
I wish that I could be two people
Gm                     Ab
instead of bein' on my own
Eb                         Ab
I wish that I could be two people
Fm7                    Bb
and then I'd never be alone


Cm                                 G
Photographs of where I've been and all I've done
Cm               G
In this whole world - is there a girl - no, not one

Cm                    Bb            Eb            F
Goodbye, hello - I've got to go - I hope you understand
Ab          Bb           Cm
a one night man is all I am
Ab          Bb                 Cm
a one night stand, a one night man.


Cm             G7  Cm  G7
Doo doo doo...


Cm                    Bb            Eb            F                    
Goodbye, hello - I've got to go - I hope you understand
Ab          Bb           Cm  
a one night man is all I am
Ab          Bb                 Cm
a one night stand, a one night man

Cm
Doo doo doo...
