[Verse 1]
We're fooled by first impressions
They're not always true
You thought that I was made out of ice
But I caught on fire with you
And I sparkled for a moment
Then I flickered out
I couldn't feel the flame any more
But darlin', I'm feelin' it now
[Pre-Chorus]
It took such a long time to convince me
You could fill that empty space
[Chorus]
Ooh, but Saturday night is shining
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Saturday night is shining
On my Sunday morning face... hey, yeah, baby
Make me feel so happy
[Verse 2]
When I'm lying here beside you
In the afterglow
I feel you moving into my life
And this time I won't let you go, no baby
Sunlight is streaming
Through the open window
While you're dreaming in my arms...
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, took such a long time to convince me
You could fill that empty space, ooh-ooh-ooh!
[Chorus]
But Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face
[Bridge]
Shine, shining...
Shine, shining... oo-wee baby
Shine, shining...
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Shine, shining... hey, baby
Shine, shining... ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face, let me tell ya
[Outro]
Saturday night, Saturday night keeps on shining, baby
(Saturday night is shining)
On my Sunday morning, Sunday morning
Sunday morning face, baby
(On my Sunday morning face, shine-shine-shine)
Early early morning, early early morning
(Saturday night is shining)
Keeps on shining on my Sunday morning face, baby
(On my Sunday morning face, shine-shine-shine)
Hey, yeah...
We're fooled by first impressions
They're not always true
You thought that I was made out of ice
But I caught on fire with you
And I sparkled for a moment
Then I flickered out
I couldn't feel the flame any more
But darlin', I'm feelin' it now
[Pre-Chorus]
It took such a long time to convince me
You could fill that empty space
[Chorus]
Ooh, but Saturday night is shining
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Saturday night is shining
On my Sunday morning face... hey, yeah, baby
Make me feel so happy
[Verse 2]
When I'm lying here beside you
In the afterglow
I feel you moving into my life
And this time I won't let you go, no baby
Sunlight is streaming
Through the open window
While you're dreaming in my arms...
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, took such a long time to convince me
You could fill that empty space, ooh-ooh-ooh!
[Chorus]
But Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face
[Bridge]
Shine, shining...
Shine, shining... oo-wee baby
Shine, shining...
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Shine, shining... hey, baby
Shine, shining... ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face, oo-wee baby
Saturday night keeps on shining
On my Sunday morning face, let me tell ya
[Outro]
Saturday night, Saturday night keeps on shining, baby
(Saturday night is shining)
On my Sunday morning, Sunday morning
Sunday morning face, baby
(On my Sunday morning face, shine-shine-shine)
Early early morning, early early morning
(Saturday night is shining)
Keeps on shining on my Sunday morning face, baby
(On my Sunday morning face, shine-shine-shine)
Hey, yeah...
