Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night's already old Walking into Sunday, and I find All desires are cold I could walk forever, I don't mind Show me a light, your company Goes a little way to help me see The path on which I'm bound Rather than the things I leave behind I've got the keys to the city Baby I can feel my luck I got two days' money If you light me up This heart will shine on "L'esclavage D'amour It will be ours forevermore" Words we both recall Either from a lover, or the law Saturday night, my steps have shown I can walk away from all I've know Goodnight, my friend, goodbye Remember what they say, When you're alone, laugh or die
