lyrics

Blank checks and tiaras from Spain
Sent with petticoats and roses from lovers with no name
Breaking laws and vases just because she could
Stopping traffic for a latte and reflections in the hood
In all the bright lights blinking for the world to see
It reads: "One Night Only"

She lies awake at night dreaming of life where anything is possible
All the way to China, digging holes through time
To a place where she's anonymous

She floats above her managers game
Dancing delicately sequined dress signed by her favorite name
Cameras flash to catch a piece of her fame
In her glory making stories at the Pistons-Lakers game
In all the bright lights blinking for the world to see
It reads: "One Night Only"

She lies awake at night dreaming of life where anything is possible
All the way to China, digging holes through time
To a place where she's anonymous

Everyday wishing for some way she could
Be remembered as a child
Pay no mind no matter who or what they say
Love this woman for a while

She lies awake at night dreaming of life where anything is possible
All the way to China, digging holes through time
To a place where she's anonymous
