Lyrics

Another Saturday night that I ain't got nobody

Feeling alone and without companionship on another Saturday night

I got some money 'cause I just got paid

Having money due to recently being paid

Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to

Desiring someone to converse with

I'm in an awful way, dig this

Expressing deep distress or unhappiness


I got in town a month ago

Arrived in town a month prior

I seen a lotta girls since then

Has seen many girls since arriving

If I could meet 'em, I could get 'em

If given the chance to meet them, confident in being able to attract them

But as yet I haven't met 'em

However, hasn't yet had the opportunity to meet these girls

That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Feeling distressed due to not having met anyone yet


Another Saturday night that I ain't got nobody

Reiteration of feeling alone on a Saturday night

I got some money 'cause I just got paid

Reiterating having money due to being paid recently

Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to

Expressing the desire for someone to talk to again

I'm in an awful way

Reiterating feeling extremely distressed or unhappy


Now, another fella told me

Another person mentioned having a good-looking sister

He had a sister who looked just fine

Describing the attractiveness of the sister

Instead of being my deliverance

Instead of being helpful, the sister was not suitable or disappointing

She had a strange resemblance

She bore an odd resemblance to something unattractive or monstrous

To a cat named Frankenstein

Comparing the sister's appearance to a character named Frankenstein


Here, another Saturday night that I ain't got nobody

Reiteration of feeling alone on a Saturday night

I got some money 'cause I just got paid

Reiterating having money due to being paid recently

Now, how I wish I had some chick to talk to

Expressing the desire for a female companion to talk to

I'm in an awful way, yeah

Reiterating feeling extremely distressed or unhappy


Here it is, another weekend

Emphasizing the repetition of being alone on weekends

I ain't got nobody

Reiterating the feeling of having nobody

Man if I was back home, I'd be swingin'

Expressing that if back home, would have company

Two chicks on my arm, aww yeah

Imagining having two girls accompanying

Listen to me, huh

Insisting on being heard


It's hard on a fella

It's difficult for someone unfamiliar with the area

When he don't know his way around

Expressing difficulty due to lack of familiarity

If I don't find me a honey

If unable to find a female companion

To help me spend my money

Expressing the intention to spend money with a partner

I'm gonna have to blow this town

Considering leaving the town if no companion is found


Here it's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

Reiteration of feeling alone on a Saturday night

I got some money 'cause I just got paid

Reiterating having money due to being paid recently

Now, how I wish I had some chick to talk to

Repeating the desire for a female companion to talk to

I'm in an awful, everybody sing

Emphasizing the distress once more, prompting everyone to sing along


Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

Reiteration of feeling alone on a Saturday night

I got some money 'cause I just got paid

Reiterating having money due to being paid recently

Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to

Expressing the desire for someone to talk to

I'm in an awful, one more time

Reiterating extreme distress and seeking another round of singing


Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

Reiteration of feeling alone on a Saturday night

I got some money 'cause I just got paid

Reiterating having money due to being paid recently

Now, how I wish I had some chick to talk to

Repeating the wish for a female companion to talk to

I'm in an awful, sounding mighty good

Expressing extreme distress and indicating that singing sounds appealing

Another Saturday night

Final repetition of feeling alone on a Saturday night
