Your heart beats fast

there’s passion in the air

one thing you always longed for

is love and you despair

You’re beaten to submission

by the love that you need

Your heart’s on your sleeve

and it’s starting to bleed

Chorus

You’ve been used, abused

now you know how it feels

what it’s like to be a one night stand

You’ve been used, abused

so you know how it feels

What it’s like to be a one night stand

Lay on the bed half naked

with the phone in your hand

You’re still half asleep boy

and you can’t understand

Why you’re left all alone

in a foreign land

now your girl’s done a runner

and she’s stolen your plans

Chorus

Bridge to solo

Leaning in the doorway

smoking gun in your hand

dumb expression on your face boy

now you think you’re a man

Got a price on your head now

you don’t care or understand

What it’s like to be a one night stand

Chorus
