Temporary Fix
One Direction · Made In the A.M. [2015]
Saw your body language and I know how you're feeling
You look like the kind of girl who's tired of speaking
Standing with somebody
But he doesn't know what you like
You caught my attention, you were looking at me first
Saw that I can teach you, waking up in my t-shirt
If you're not hooked to anything
Right now I can be your vice
[Chorus: Liam & All & Niall]
All you need to know is
You can call me when you're lonely
When you can't sleep, I'll be your temporary fix
You control me, even if it's just tonight
You can call me when you feel like
I'm your good time, I'll be your temporary fix
You can own me, and we'll call this what you like
Let me be your good night
[Verse 2: Harry]
Tonight I'm on your lips and I feel like I'm locked in
There's a million eyes, I don't care if they're watching
Your body's saying everything
I don't have to read your mind
Feel you on my neck while I'm calling a taxi
Climbing over me while I climb in the backseat
Now we're taking off
Now we're taking it off tonight
[Chorus: Liam & All & Harry]
All you need to know is
You can call me when you're lonely
When you can't sleep, I'll be your temporary fix
You control me, even if it's just tonight
You can call me when you feel like
I'm your good time, I'll be your temporary fix
You can own me, and we'll call this what you like
Let me be your good night
[Bridge: Louis]
We can roll in the darkness, let me touch you where your heart is
And if you're feeling the weakness
Well I told you baby that you can call me
I'll be your temporary fix, you can call me
[Chorus: All & Harry]
You can call me when you're lonely
When you can't sleep, I'll be your temporary fix
You control me, even if it's just tonight
You can call me when you feel like
I'm your good time, I'll be your temporary fix
You can own me, and we'll call this what you like
Let me be your good night
