S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!
Went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine
Looked up in the Heaven, Lord, I saw a mighty sign
Written fire across the heaven, plain as black and white
“Get prepared, there’s gonna be a party tonight”
Uh uh hey, Saturday night
Hey uh uh, one more Saturday night
Hey, Saturday night
Another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I got some money 'cause i just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I’m in an awful way
No sleep at all, runnin’ a lie
Doing you wrong, proving you right each time
That’s a (That’s a), that’s a double negative, oh
Showing up late, draggin’ along
Won’t pick up the phone while I’ll be gone
Can’t deny it
It’s a double negative
Oh, double negative
Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise with that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me
It’s always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me
Well I was born down in the gutter
With a temper as hot as fire
Spent ninety days on a peat farm just doin’ the county’s time
Well now, even mama said son you’re bad news
And it won’t be too long before someone puts one through you
Double trouble that’s what my friends all call me
(Double trouble double trouble)
I said, double trouble
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the drivin’ rain
But it’s all right now
In fact, it’s a gas
But it’s all right
I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash
It’s a gas, gas, gas
Out of gas, out of road
Out of car, I don’t know how I’m going to go
And I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens, I was giving them away
I had a drink the other day
I had a lot to say
What’s that metronome I hear?
Perhaps the end is drawing near
You never hear the shot that takes you down
Out of time, so say goodbye
What is yours now is mine
And I dream broken dreams, I’ll make them come true
I’ll make them for you
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
They look at life with such disregard
They say it can’t be won
The way the game is run
But if you choose to stay
You wind up playing anyway
It’s okay
Stay, that’s what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to so badly this time
'Cause you can never really tell when somebody
Wants so much to stay
Oh, won’t you stay
Just a little bit longer?
Please let me dance
And say you will (Say you will)
Stay awhile, let me hold you
Stay awhile, 'til I’ve told you, oh, oh
Of the love that I feel tonight, oh yeah
Stay awhile, what’s your hurry?
Stay awhile, 'cause I worry, oh
Any time that you’re out of sight
This unspoken contract, a deed we forged for mutual gain
If that’s all this was when you’re not here, what is this rooted pain?
I don’t care that you’re of lower station, or primed to sate my dark temptations
Why can’t you understand? Let me explain!
And I’m terrified as I cry to make these feelings true
What’s left for me and my broken heart, if I cannot have you?
I got a Maserati G.T.
With snake skin upholstery
I got a charge account at Goldblatt’s
But I ain’t got you
I’ve got diamonds, music too
Just as much as before
Got my guy and my sky of blue
Now, however, I own the view
More is better than something, true
But nothing’s better than more, more, more
Nothing’s better than more
Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
Oh, I don’t know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
I WANT MORE!
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can’t get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can’t get to
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won’t let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
I ain’t got nobody
That I can depend on
I ain’t got nobody
That I can depend on
