lyrics

One night at a time, babe, is how most men work.
You go lovin on the wrong one and you're bound to get hurt.
I'm a one woman man, babe. I'll treat you right
if you've had enough makin love one night at a time.

You're a real sweet talker, but talk is cheap.
Don't make no promises that you can't keep.
If you wanna love me, I don't mind.
But if you want my heart, you've got to start one night at a time.

One night at a time- hey, how 'bout tonight?
We can have one dance and a little romance, if the feelin's right.
And in the mornin, we just might find
we're ready for a little bit more, one night at a time.

I'm a long haul man, not a one-night stand.
Hey cowboy, we ain't even danced.
I'll walk the talk, babe. I'll toe the line.
Walk before you run. Let's have some fun one night at a time.

One night at a time- hey, how 'bout tonight?
We can have one dance and a little romance, if the feelin's right.
And in the mornin, we just might find
we're ready for a little bit more, one night at a time.
We can work our way to a wedding day, one night at a time.
Don't make no plans, you can be my man, one night at a time.
