Just An Illusion

by: Kekai Boyz

ooooh aahh
1:
met her out on the beach one day,
still remember what she smells like, yeah
had these eyes that could light up a room
and a voice thats so heavenly
took her in and we talked for a while
couldn't get past her sexy smile soo i,
so i......
gave her all of the sweet talk and charm
but i didn't wanna move to fast
asked her for her name and number
i've done this again and again
headed up to her house that evening
spent a night that was oh so pleasing
and now...and now...........
chorus:
fell in love with a one night stand
and i cant belive my heart
wasn't supposed to happen this way
usually im gone like the wind
trapped between a broken heart
and a girl who dont really care
i sit all alone and im in love with a one night stand
2:
lying awake at night
and wonder whats wrong with me
cuz i cant seem to shake it off
a feeling thast runs so deep
this never happened before
was always able to walk out the door
but now...but now........
chorus:
fell in love with a one night stand
and i cant belive my heart
wasn't supposed to happen this way
usually im gone like the wind
trapped between a broken heart
and a girl who dont really care
i sit all alone and im in love with a one night stand
