[Refrain] Ah, we've been together for the longest time But now it's time to get high Come on, let's get high, high, high And goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
[Verse 3] Oh, I'm still missing my other half Oh, it must be something I did in the past Don't it just make you wanna laugh? It's a lonely Saturday night
[Verse 4] Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone I put another record on my stereo But I'm still singing a song of you It's a lonely Saturday night
[Bridge] Now, if I was an actor or a dancer who is glamorous Then you know an amorous life would soon be mine But now the tinsel light of star break Is all that's left to applaud my heart break And at eleven o'clock I watch the network news Oh, woah, woah
[Verse 5] Something tells me that you're really gone You said we could be friends, but that's not what I want Ah, anyway, my TV dinner's almost done It's a lonely Saturday night
[Outro] I mean to tell you, it's a lonely Saturday night One more once, it's a lonely Saturday night
