I met her on a Saturday
she shed light to the letter
they asked me why won't you dance
a friend to remember as a one night stand

less is ever more
when she walks up to the door
and the last thing that she says
I'm sure someone else won't make a mess

where can you hide
when it hurts deep inside
a girl played a trick on me
I thought about the lies we learn on tv

so if you wanna talk just come over
please call as soon as I'm sober
don't forget those dancing shoes
if you're into a tango, you know it takes two

have you ever wished that
have you ever wished that they'd smile on you
have you ever wished that on a Saturday night

if I'll ever take the chance
to set the rules of a true romance
two-step to merengue
west coast swing to French cancan

I met her on a Saturday
we had a laugh about no matter
what they'll ask or what they'll do
if you're into a tango, you know it takes two

have you ever wished that
have you ever wished that they'd smile on you
have you ever wished that on a Saturday night
