[Verse 1] Saturday night and I'm all alone Don't have a date, I'm just sitting home The radio's playing the tap tunes tonight [Chorus] Play me a sad song (oh yes) Please mister deejay (yes) Play me a sad song tonight (ooh-ooh) [Verse 2] Don't you think I want to go where other kids go Don't you know I want to do what other kids do I've got nobody to hold me tight (ooh yes) [Chorus] [Verse 3] Don't want to hear a lullaby I can't sleep, I just sit and cry Play me a sad song, a song of love Because that's all that I'm thinking of Sitting here crying won't get me the girl I bet I'm the loneliest boy in the world Oh what's the use, guess I'll turn off the light (ooh yes) [Chorus][x2]
