Lyrics
Oh, let the jukebox keep on playing
Expressing a desire for the jukebox to continue playing.
Let that record roll around
Encouraging the continuous rotation of the record on the jukebox.
Let my baby keep on sayin'
Wishing for the speaker's partner to affirm that she is the lonely girl in town.
She's the lonesome gal in town
Acknowledging the speaker's lover as the lonesome girl in the town.
Let her know that I'll be waiting
Expressing a commitment to wait for the partner until the speaker's loneliness subsides.
Till my lonely days are through
Continuing the theme of waiting for the end of the speaker's loneliness.
Let the jukebox keep on playin'
Reiterating the desire for the jukebox to play until the speaker can embrace the partner.
Till I'm holding you
Anticipating the moment when the speaker can hold the partner.
Let those honky tonkin' angels
Referring to hypothetical angels associated with honky tonk music, expressing a longing for a girl never loved.
Be the girl I never loved,
Assigning qualities of the never-loved girl to the honky tonk angels.
Let her know it's you I'm cravin'
Communicating a strong desire for the partner and making it known.
And it's you I'm thinkin' of
Affirming that the partner is the one the speaker is constantly thinking about.
Let her know that I'll be waiting
Reiterating the commitment to wait for the partner to alleviate loneliness.
Till my lonely days are through
Continuing the theme of waiting for the end of the speaker's loneliness.
Let the jukebox keep on playin'
Repeating the desire for the jukebox to play until the speaker can be reunited with the partner.
Till I'm holding you
Expressing the longing to hold the partner when the loneliness dissipates.
Oh, let the jukebox keep on playing
Reiterating the desire for the jukebox to continue playing.
Let that record spin around
Encouraging the continuous rotation of the record on the jukebox.
Let my baby keep on sayin'
Wishing for the partner to affirm once again that she is the lonely girl in town.
She's the lonesome gal in town
Acknowledging the partner as the lonesome girl in the town, echoing earlier sentiments.
Let her know that I'll be waiting
Expressing a commitment to wait for the partner until the speaker's loneliness subsides.
Till my lonely days are through
Continuing the theme of waiting for the end of the speaker's loneliness.
Let the jukebox keep on playing
Reiterating the desire for the jukebox to play until the speaker can embrace the partner.
Till I'm holding you
Anticipating the moment when the speaker can hold the partner.
