Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just all
right
Same old Saturday night
Then I made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
Same old Saturday night
I really thought the papers I
bought
Would help me forget you for a
while
Believe me, honey, the funnies
weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
How I wish you'd lift the phone
Fun is fun, but not alone
'til you let me hold you tight
Same old Saturday night
<instrumental>
I really thought that the papers
I bought
Would help me forget you for a
while
But believe me, honey, the
funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
How I wish you'd lift that phone
Fun is fun, but not alone
'til you let me hold you tight
Same old Saturday night
Only your face
Can help me erase
That sa-ame o-old Saturday night
