Janis Ian — Hotels & One Night Stands lyrics

Lyrics

Hey — I been on the road too long
I don’t know where i belong
Don’t know how to say «Goodbye, baby»
Say — I think of my yesterdays
A loving that fades away
You’re loving me and I don’t love nobody now
Hotels & one-night stands are my speed
Give me a place I can leave
I wanna be someone I’ve never met before
Here’s the key to the nineteenth floor
Somebody open the door
and give me a reason to keep coming back for more
Hey — I been on the magazines
I faced the American dream
Don’t you think I know it?
Say — I think I been through the war
I’ve been to England, of course
but I wanna be someplace I’ve never been before
Hotels & one-night stands are my speed
Give me a place I can leave
I wanna be someone I’ve never met before
Here’s the key to the nineteenth floor
Somebody open the door
and give me a reason to keep coming back for more
I bet you can guess my name
and you need my flame
Feed me Hey — I don’t know who you are
but I’ll bet you know I’m a star
Remember me?
I’m the one who never went too far
Hotels & one-night stands are my speed
Give me a place I can leave
I wanna be someone I’ve never met before
Here’s the key to the nineteenth floor
Somebody open the door
and give me a reason to keep coming back for more
