Such a long and dark and lonely night
The singer is describing a difficult and lonely time

I asked myself is it wrong, is it right, in on a Saturday night
The singer is questioning their choices on this Saturday night

So let's try it one more time
The singer is suggesting another attempt

Try and make you want something, just that's better than mine
The artist wants to impress someone with something better

I can't take any more going out all night
The artist is tired of going out every night

It's just pity alright
The singer feels sorry for themselves

Don't know what I can do, baby, I'm losing you
The singer is afraid of losing someone they care about

Yes you, you can't believe I was true.
The artist is trying to convince someone of their sincerity

I said no, oh
The artist is refusing something

I'm gonna get you out of my head
The artist wants to forget about someone

Oh, yes love will get a seat
The singer believes love will help them move on

Such a pity for me, but it's easy to see
The artist acknowledges their situation is unfortunate

Just can't open my eyes, I never do realize
The singer has trouble seeing the truth

So just give me one chance, one more little romance
The singer wants another opportunity for love

I give you my best, let's forget all the rest
The singer is offering their best for a fresh start

Baby sees that time's moving over
The artist's love interest realizes time is passing

I gotta see your shadow, and there's a long lonely night
The artist is reminded of their love interest and feels lonely

A dark and lonely night
The singer continues to describe their lonely state

I was looking down and out and I was looking around
The singer was feeling low and searching for something

But it's time for me, so forget about him
The artist is ready to move on from someone else

Yes him, cause you know you can't win
The artist believes their love interest can't win in this situation with someone else

You can look but you'll find you're just losing your heart, that's right
The artist warns their love interest not to get too invested

When you see that you're mine
The singer asserts their ownership over their love interest

Repeat(×2)
The chorus repeats twice

(Repeats to fade-out)
The song slowly fades out
