“One Night at a Time” is a song written by Roger Cook, Eddie Kilgallon, and Earl Bud Lee, and recorded by American country music singer George Strait. It was released in March 1997 as the first single from his album Carrying Your Love with Me. The song reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that while it has a little more pop-leaning production than a normal Strait record, the melody is “pretty and the flourishes of Mexicali-sounding guitar riffs add an intriguing flavor”, going on to say that the song has a “light summertime feel to it.”

George Strait – One Night At A Time Lyrics
I’m not yours and baby you’re not mine.
We’ve got something that sure is fine.
Let’s take our love one night at a time.
There’s one thing that we both agree.
I like you and baby you like me.
Let’s take our love one night at a time.
[Chorus:]
All night, love all night, practice makes perfect, gonna get it right
Gonna get it right, one night at a time.
Oh I think about you all day long.
It feels so good, it can’t be wrong.
I got my fingers crossed that this goes on and on.
Tomorrow well that’s another day.
Come on baby, now whatta you say.
Let’s take our love one night at a time.
[Chorus]
