IN THE PALE NEON LIGHT
OF A SATURDAY NIGHT
YOU'LL SEE HIM
WALK UP TO THE BAR
HE'LL SIZE UP THE LADIES
THE NO'S
AND THE MAYBE'S
TILL HE FINDS ONE
WHO'LL LET DOWN
HER GUARD
THEN THE BAND
ON HIS HAND
GETS SLIPPED OFF
AGAIN
AND HIS
DISARMING CHARM
STARTS TO WORK
THEN WITH A DRINK
AND A LIE
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
SOMETHIN' AMAZING
OCCURS
HE'S SUDDENLY SINGLE
INSTANTLY FREE
AND FOR THREE
OR FOUR HOURS
HE'S THE MAN
OF HER DREAMS
HE ACTS LIKE
THERE'S NO ONE
WAITING AT HOME
HE'LL BE
SUDDENLY SINGLE
TILL HE'S
SUDDENLY GONE
HE SNEAKS
THROUGH THE DOOR
AT A QUARTER TO FOUR
BUT TONIGHT THERE'S
NO ONE TO WAKE
THE NOTE
THAT SHE WROTE HIM
SAYS I'VE
GIVEN UP HOPIN'
I'D BE ABLE TO
CHANGE YOU SOMEDAY
HE SITS ON THE BED
SHAKIN' HIS HEAD
A MAN
IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF
HE KNOWS
WHAT HE'S LOST
OH BUT HE
NEVER THOUGHT
SOMEDAY
HE'D REALLY BE
SUDDENLY SINGLE
INSTANTLY FREE
AND FOR THE REST
OF HIS LIFE
SHE'LL HAUNT
HIS DREAMS
AND NOW
THERE'LL BE NO ONE
WAITING AT HOME
HE'S SUDDENLY SINGLE
'CAUSE SHE'S
SUDDENLY GONE
HE'S SUDDENLY SINGLE
'CAUSE SHE'S
SUDDENLY GONE
