I had a the first line of the song in my head and just kind of followed it along until the end. I had my own melody to the song and I sent it to Chip Martin to produce. We had been talking a little bit about writing something together and he told me that if I was interested he felt he could put a more contemporary melody to this song. I said, go for it! And this is what came out of it. It ended up being cut by American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, but never released. It also was a top 10 finalist in the NSAI songwriting competition.

Lyrics

One of Those Nights
John Cirillo (ASCAP) IPI# 334682653 /Chip Martin (BMI) IPI# 353031796

Honey, let me tell you how great it is to be home
I thought this day was never gonna end
Someone’s been messing with my mojo all day long
I’d love to know who let the devil in
The only thing that saved me from jumping off a bridge
Was knowing you were waiting with your love me tender kiss

Chorus:
It’s been one of those days
And it’s all that I can do
To keep this train wreck on the tracks
Till I got home to you
But everything is looking bright
Since you turned off the lights
It’s been one of those days
And, Honey, I sure could use
One of those nights

The boss’s lips were moving but I didn’t hear a word
I was busy fantasizing ‘bout you
Your dress falls off your shoulders; your fingers grab my shirt
Now it’s time to make my fantasies come true
The way you wrap yourself around me with that hunger in your eye
Well, I know I had a bad day but I can’t remember why

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
A night we get all tangled up in satin
Lost in your Victoria Secret smile
When every move you make becomes my favorite distraction
And I forget for a little while (that)

Repeat Chorus
