Janis Ian — Hotels and One-Night Stands

[Verse 1] 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 Of loving that fades away You're loving me And I don't love nobody now [Chorus] Hotels and 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 [Verse 2] 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 Well, I've been to England, of course But I wanna be Someplace I've never been before [Chorus] Hotels and 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 [Instrumental] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Hotels and 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 [Chorus] Here's the key to the nineteenth floor Somebody open the door And give me a reason of coming back for more
