One Night Lyrics
[Verse 1: Terrace Martin]
I saw you standing over there
I wanna get to know you
Let me take you by your hand
And let's go somewhere
[Pre-Hook: Terrace Martin]
When you start to warm it's close enough
I’ll take my time won't be in a rush
And you will see I'm the man for you
So let's stop playing and do what you do
[Hook: Terrace Martin]
One night
Or it can be forever
One night
Or it can be forever
[Verse 2: Phonte]
It's Phontigga, hahahaha
So outlandish
So bon voyage to Atlantis
So 1982 bumpin' Outstandin'
When she come to Raleigh she call me Uncle Charlie
Take it from the rear I'm her Gap Bandit
Missed the plane on purpose, trying to act stranded
And talk about how she miss Tay, and it's way out of the league
But gotta leave cause she used all her sick days
I know you're probably used to dudes that lie a lot
And take you to the mall, trick some doe, they buy a lot
Sayin' they take to the higher spot
But steady be getting their browse on like Chrome or Firefox
Looking for the next spring chicken
It's a hell of the life, but it really ain't living
You a hell of a sight but I really ain't trippin'
Cause it's a hell of the night, if y'all feelin', sang with 'em
Let's go!
I saw you standing over there
I wanna get to know you
Let me take you by your hand
And let's go somewhere
[Pre-Hook: Terrace Martin]
When you start to warm it's close enough
I’ll take my time won't be in a rush
And you will see I'm the man for you
So let's stop playing and do what you do
[Hook: Terrace Martin]
One night
Or it can be forever
One night
Or it can be forever
[Verse 2: Phonte]
It's Phontigga, hahahaha
So outlandish
So bon voyage to Atlantis
So 1982 bumpin' Outstandin'
When she come to Raleigh she call me Uncle Charlie
Take it from the rear I'm her Gap Bandit
Missed the plane on purpose, trying to act stranded
And talk about how she miss Tay, and it's way out of the league
But gotta leave cause she used all her sick days
I know you're probably used to dudes that lie a lot
And take you to the mall, trick some doe, they buy a lot
Sayin' they take to the higher spot
But steady be getting their browse on like Chrome or Firefox
Looking for the next spring chicken
It's a hell of the life, but it really ain't living
You a hell of a sight but I really ain't trippin'
Cause it's a hell of the night, if y'all feelin', sang with 'em
Let's go!
[Pre-Hook: Terrace Martin]
When we stop to parties closer now
I'll take my time of being around
And you will see I'm the man for you
So let's stop playing and do what you do
[Hook: Terrace Martin]
One night
Or it can be forever
One night
Or it can be forever
[Interlude: Terrace Martin]
Hey baby
I’ve been really feeling your energy for the past few minutes we have been in this room togethher
I've tried to talk to you, I've tried to sing it to you
I think it’s about time I, I play it to you
[Terrace Martin: Saxophone]
[Bird and The Midnight Falcons]
Close enough
Be in a rush
I'm the man for you
Do what it do
Oh baby let's get down tonight
Ohhh

Oh baby let's make love tonight

Oh my goodness
When we stop to parties closer now

And you will see I'm the man for you
