Lyrics
I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright
I'm seeking a place with subdued lights.
I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright
Reiteration of the desire for a less bright environment.
When I get back you can treat me like a Saturday night
Upon return, treat me with the joy and excitement reminiscent of a Saturday night.
I'm glad to see you coming, I'm glad to see you go
Expressing satisfaction at both arrival and departure.
She once told me I am glad to see you coming, I'm glad to see you go
Recalling a past statement from someone, indicating mixed feelings but occasional longing.
But how I miss you sometimes, love, you will never know
Despite the apparent detachment, there is an undisclosed yearning for love.
The things you've said don't mean so much to me, I am sorry, love
Apology for not valuing spoken words; love is not affected by verbal expressions.
The things you've said don't mean so much to me
Reiteration of the diminished significance of verbal communication.
I know how you try and every time you cry, I again see
Acknowledgment of efforts and tears, recognizing the emotional investment.
Don't make me wait so long before you let me back in
Impatience about being kept away and a plea to be allowed back into the relationship sooner.
Honey baby, please don't
An affectionate plea to avoid prolonged separation.
Make me wait so long before you let me back in
Reiteration of the desire for a quicker reunion.
Knowing she's going to lose
Acknowledging the inevitability of losing sometimes.
Might give my baby the blues
The potential impact of losing causing emotional distress to a loved one.
But it won't ever keep my baby from trying to win
Despite potential setbacks, the determination to continue trying and winning.
You gotta give up something when you try out anything new
Recognizing the need to sacrifice when trying something new.
You gotta give up something when you try out anything new
Reiteration of the concept of giving up something for experimentation.
But whatever I give up, love, it won't be you
Commitment that, regardless of sacrifices, the person's love won't be compromised.
I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright
Reiteration of the desire to be in a less illuminated setting.
I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright
Emphasis on the preference for subdued lights.
When I get back you can treat me like a Saturday night
Anticipation of being treated with the warmth and excitement of a Saturday night upon return.
