One Night Is Not Enough Lyrics

This song is so beautiful and bittersweet. It's about someone that feels this intense attraction for someone--and knows that they shouldn't because the other person will never return the feelings like they should--but they don't have the power to turn away. Something keeps pulling them back in and they cannot resist the need to be with the person. The person they love is in love with someone else and can't get past this other person long enough to realize what they have right in front of them--someone who is hopelessly waiting and wanting and yearning for them.
