So I call your name, cross my fingers
uncross the others, hesitate.
Oh I don´t think straight with nothing to prove.

I don´t wanna say I´m leaving
I´ll stay until the weekend.
You can take all your things;
the boxes and rings
and get going.

´Cause I´ve been waiting for...

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

So I call you out
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
And I do, baby I do
´Til their lips start to move,
and their friends wanna talk music
I say "I´ve never heard the tune!"
But I have, I just hate the band
´cause they remind me of you.

Every single night ends up the same,
I don´t say much at all, but I bring up your name.
(Over and over and over)
I think it´s striking me out.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
you still wear boots and your hair is too long
and then this one doesn´t want to admit she´s fallen in love
Oh c´mon, oh c´mon, what´s a boy to do
When all the pretty girls can´t measure to you.

I don´t understand your reasons
Please just stay over the weekend
You can´t take all those things
They define you and me
everything we´ve become,
You´re all that I need
Please don´t make me face my generation alone.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
I feel your faith is destroying the world
and then this one never really understood
the 80s is over and done
Oh c´mon, what´s a boy to do,
when all the pretty girls can´t measure to you
