It swiftly goes, so I just gotta know That it’s more than lust (So in love) That you’re worth my trust (So in love) You gotta search inside yourself and purely open up to me Before I’ll be with you You gotta give me something sacred More than merely physical (So in love) One night’s not enough Gotta be certain I’m so in love with you
It’s just another Saturday evening He’s watching all the girls go by He finds your body kind of appealing So he hits you with his favorite lie, yes He’s looking you over He whispers, “Let’s get to know each other better, baby” He’s moving in closer But what you see may not be the entirety, so be wary
He’s just out for the one night He just wants you till he gets his way now, baby-baby So don’t gamble with your life It don’t pay, no
You see her standing there on the corner Sashaying as the cars go by You casually look over your shoulder As she winks at you and bats her eyes, yes You’re thinking about it Your conscience tells you to go But something’s in the way now The prospect’s arousing You think just this once can’t hurt them But you might have another thing coming
You’re just out for a good time, baby So later you’ll forget her name now, baby-baby So don’t gamble with your life It don’t pay Oh, no Don’t-don’t, surely don’t
Just out for the one night But it’s more than just a little game now, baby-baby So don’t gamble with your life It don’t pay Yeah, oh-yeah (It don’t pay) Don’t pay (It don’t pay) No, it don’t (It don’t pay) Oh, no, it don’t, no, it don’t, no, it don’t, baby (It don’t pay) Oh, yeah (It don’t pay) Oh, yeah-yeah (It don’t pay)
