Same Old Saturday Night
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just alright
Same old Saturday night
Then I made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
I really thought, the papers I bought
Would help me forget you for a while
Believe me honey, the funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
How I wish you'd lift the phone
Fun is fun - but not alone
'Till you let me hold you tight
Same old Saturday night
Only your face, can help me erase
That same old Saturday night
The song Same Old Saturday Night by The Rat Pack is about the singer's longing for his lover on a mundane Saturday night. In the first verse, he goes to see a movie but is left feeling unfulfilled. He then goes to a coffee shop, but even there, he cannot escape the monotony of his Saturday night. The singer then turns to the newspapers hoping they might help him forget about his lover, but they don't provide any consolation. The chorus expresses his desire for his lover's presence, which would make the night less lonely.
The singer feels isolated and lonely throughout the song, making the listener empathize with his pain. The longing for his lover is palpable as he looks for ways to keep himself entertained but ultimately fails. The singer's difficulty in moving on from his lover is showcased when he says, "Only your face can help me erase that same old Saturday night." Overall, Same Old Saturday Night is a poignant song about how even the simplest things in life can make one long for the person they love.
Line by Line Meaning
Went to see a movie show
I went out to watch a film
Found myself an empty row
I ended up sitting in a row which had no one else
Thought the show was just alright
The movie was just average and nothing extraordinary
Same old Saturday night
Another boring Saturday night
Then I made the usual stop
I stopped by my regular spot
Coffee at the coffee shop
I grabbed a cup of coffee at the cafe
Friendly face nowhere in sight
But I didn't spot anyone familiar or friendly around
Same old Saturday night
Just another boring Saturday night
I really thought, the papers I bought
I hoped that reading the newspaper would distract me for a while
Would help me forget you for a while
I wanted to forget about you and move on
Believe me honey, the funnies weren't funny
But even the comics in the newspaper couldn't make me laugh
They didn't even make me smile
And even the funny articles couldn't bring a smile to my face
How I wish you'd lift the phone
I wish you would pick up my calls
Fun is fun - but not alone
I can have fun, but it's not the same without you
'Till you let me hold you tight
I won't be able to feel complete until I hug you tightly
Same old Saturday night
Every Saturday feels the same without you here
Only your face, can help me erase
The only thing that can make me forget my boredom and loneliness is seeing your face
That same old Saturday night
And that's how every Saturday feels like
