One Night Stand

As often as Janis Joplin Sang about love gone sour, she was also a heartbreaker in her own right! One Night Stand is a fantastic anthem for a woman so focused on her Careerthat she doesn't have time to make anything or anyone else her priority much to disappointment of her suitors. Not everyone was meant to be tied down, and no one was more aware of that simple fact then Janis, the consummate free spirit! Farewell Song, Janis 1982 posthumans release features songs like One Night Stand and other releases from her time with Big Brother And The Holding Company Full Tilt Boogie. When you realize how talented Janis Joplin was and how much she accomplished in only 10 years, you realize why she never really settled down. When your that talented you have to channel all of that energy into what the universe gave you. That really doesn't leave a whole lot of time or energy to devote to anyone or anything else, even if you're as lonely as Janis was. She loved men and had several lovers but in many ways was very much a loner. "Onstage, I make love to 25,000 people - then I go home alone." Say what you want about Janis Joplin, but she always called her own shots.

One Night Stand Lyrics Janis Joplin [Pre-Chorus] When I'm on the road playing in a town without a name And I'm feeling low and everybody looks the same Well, you catch my eye, and then you come on strong and try to make your play Just because we loved tonight, please don't you think it's going to stay that way [Chorus] Don't you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand Tomorrow I'll be on my way, and you can catch me if you can Honey, take me by the hand and play that game again, yeah [Verse 2] Everywhere I go, the people wanna make some time with me That's okay, if the next day I can be free Well, it's feeling good and you're the one I'm loving tonight Well, don't you go and spoil it, babe, by trying to get yourself all uptight [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus][x2] [Outro] Don't you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand Lord, Lord! 1982
