She came in lookin' good and lookin' around
She's checkin' out every man in the room right now
Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong

With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire

Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
The heart is a lonely hunter

She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand but
