Saturday Night Boy
Embracing Independence: Saturday Night Boy's Resilient Anthem
Lyrics
I ain't your saturday night boy
I am not the person you want to spend your Saturday nights with.
I know I ain't the one you wanna bring around
I understand that I'm not the preferred choice to accompany you.
Little tired but I'm doing alright lord
Despite feeling a bit worn out, I'm managing fine, thank the Lord.
I ain't gonna let no one like you bring me down
I won't allow someone like you to bring me down emotionally.
Hey
These lines are exclamatory or possibly signaling a change or emphasis in the message.
Hey
-Save me for a sunday evening
Save me for a quieter, more relaxed time, like Sunday evening, only if you're willing to spare the time for me.
That is only if you can find the time
Don't hide the fact that you're planning to leave or move away.
Don't hide I can tell that you're leaving
It's evident from your actions or demeanor that you're intending to depart.
I can hear it in your voice I can see it in your eyes
I can perceive your departure in the way you speak and in the expression in your eyes.
I breath it I feel it I want it but don't need it
I desire it, I sense it, but I don't necessarily require it.
I've gotten used to bleeding and healing on my own
I've become accustomed to experiencing pain and recovering from it independently.
My lovin' you're holding I thought that you'd show it
I expected you to express your affection, but you're holding it back.
I'll stick with what I know I'm better off alone
I'll stick to what I'm familiar with—I believe I'm better off being alone.
I ain't your saturday night boy
Reiteration of the earlier sentiment about not being the preferred choice and refusing to be negatively influenced.
I know I ain't the one you wanna bring around
-Little tired but I'm doing alright lord
-I ain't gonna let no one like you bring me down
-Hey
Repeated lines for emphasis or as a musical interlude.
Hey
-Save me for a sunday evening
Similar to line 9, indicating a preference for a specific time if the other person is willing to spare it.
That is only if you can find the time
Repeat of earlier verses, emphasizing self-sufficiency and choosing to be alone.
Don't hide I can tell that you're leaving
-I can hear it in your voice I can see it in your eyes
-I breath it I feel it I want it but don't need it
-I've gotten used to bleeding and healing on my own
-My lovin' you're holding I thought that you'd show it
-I'll stick with what I know I'm better off alone
-Hey
Repeated lines serving as a musical break or emphasis.
Hey
-Hey
-Hey
-I ain't your saturday night boy
Final repetition of the earlier sentiments about not fitting the desired role and refusing to be negatively affected by it.
I know I ain't the one you wanna bring around
-Little tired but I'm doing alright lord
-I ain't gonna let no one like you bring me down
