Saturday Night (Yeasayer)

[Verse 1]

Mama, you're beautiful tonight

Movie star hair and that black eye

I can't even notice it when you smile so hard through a heartfelt lie

Go kiss the liquor off his laugh

Another suitcase full of cash

Shiny apologies in a velvet box, what a real good man

[Pre-Chorus]

We drive brand new cars

And we light fine cigars

We shine like small town stars

Through the best days of our lives

[Chorus]

We would walk right down the pavement

And know we're gonna be just fine

And I'd put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just anothеr Saturday night

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Just another Saturday night

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Another fist, another wall

Wе lose ourselves, we lose it all

I wrote him a hundred times

Can you hear my heart through the prison bars?

The boys I kiss don't know my name

The tears I cry all taste of blame

Bad luck and dirty cops

I'm a fucking teenage tragedy

[Pre-Chorus]

I walk lonely streets

And I talk big time dreams

So hold on before you see

That you're better off without me

[Chorus]

'Cause when I look up from the pavement

I know I'm gonna be just fine

And I put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Just another Saturday night

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

[Bridge]

There's a rainbow on the bathroom door again

Where the lipstick slides and the pearls all fly, oh

I'm gone and I ain't coming back this time

I'm gonna find my home underneath the city lights, oh

[Verse 3]

Pills fall like diamonds from my purse

Right out the hole in my fur coat

Straight down the gutter goes my antidote to a broken girl

I promise I'll be the one you want

Don't tell me I'm unfixable

You don't know what it's like to be seventeen with no place to go

[Pre-Chorus]

But give me just one night

And I'll be almost fine

Remind me one more time

It's the best days of my life

[Chorus]

'Cause when I look up from the pavement

I know I'm gonna be just fine

And I'll put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Just another Saturday night

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Just another Saturday night

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

[Outro]

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night
