Lyrics

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander

Saturday at midnight

See you at the red light

Don′t wanna be alone

Saturday at midnight

I can't wait for a call

It′s just not my style

Been alone too long

But in a little while

When night closes in

And lights are gettin' bright

Makes it all worthwhile

Makes it all worthwhile tonight

Saturday at midnight

See you at the red light (bad scene, man)

Don't wanna be alone

Saturday at midnight

I work hard every day

Every day of my life

My reward is to make a better life

′Cause I live for the weekend

And what I wanna do

Is search for that someone

So my dreams come true

Saturday at midnight

See you at the red light (bad scene, man)

Don′t wanna be alone

Saturday at midnight

There's a lot of things

That seem to go round

Like the world and the love and the fun

There′s a lot of things

That seem to go round

But the girls and the love I get none

Saturday at midnight (I don't want to go home)

Saturday at midnight

I can′t wait for a call

It's just not my style

Been alone too long

But in a little while

When night closes in

And lights are gettin′ bright

Makes it all worthwhile

Makes it all worthwhile tonight

Saturday at midnight (Ha, ha, ha)

See you at the red light (bad scene, man)

Don't wanna be alone

(Repeat to Coda)
