Lyrics
A Dateless Saturday Night
Female Vocalist
ALL OF MY LIFE, I'VE BEEN HALF OF A WHOLE,
INCOMPLETE AS ONE,
I THINK IT'S TIME TO GET BACK IN CONTROL,
AND BY MYSELF HAVE FUN,
I NEED TO TAKE A DATING SABBATICAL
KEEP ALL OF THOSE FACELESS, INCOMPATIBLE
POTENTIAL MATES, DISASTROUS DATES
OUT OF SIGHT,
I NEED A DATELESS SATURDAY NIGHT.
Male Vocalist
WHY DO I NEED THIS COMPULSIVE DATING?
STARING AT SCREENS OBSESSIVELY WAITING,
FEELING FATIGUED FROM ONLINE INTRIGUE
WHAT A PLIGHT.
I NEED A DATELESS SATURDAY NIGHT
Duet
NO MORE SITTING BY THE PHONE,
I CAN FEEL COMPLETE ALONE,
Female
I THINK I'LL TAKE A CUCUMBER FACIAL,
A LONG HOT BATH WOULD BE SENSATIONAL,
SIPPING CHAMPAGNE WITH TAKE-OUT LO MEIN
WHAT DELIGHT
Duet
I NEED A DATELESS SATURDAY NIGHT
Male Singing
IT'S TIME TO TAKE A NEW DIRECTION
A TEMPORARY DISCONNECTION
HAVE ONE LESS FLING, HAVE ONE LESS PHONE RING,
SOUNDS SO RIGHT
Duet
I NEED A DATELESS SATURDAY NIGHT
NO MORE SITTING BY THE PHONE,
I CAN FEEL COMPLETE ALONE,
WE NEED TO TAKE A DATING SABBATICAL
KEEP ALL THOSE FACELESS, INCOMPATIBLE,
POTENTIAL MATES, DISASTROUS DATES,
OUT OF SIGHT.
WE NEED A DATELESS SATURDAY,
A Dateless Saturday
A Dateless Saturday Night!
