How you doin' baby, hey you sure look great
Haven't seen you since I moved away
I would've called you but I knew what you'd say
It's been so long, how's it goin'?
Funny I just thought of you the night before last
We started playin' one of those hits from the past
And I was sayin' you were all in a class of your own
It's so true ..
And I knew, I was goin'
You were the one, you were the only
You were Saturday night
No one else who held me ever felt so right
The way you used to touch me layin' by my side
Everytime I kissed your mouth I thought I'd die
You were the one
That got away ..
I can't believe you never left this town
I started prayin' that you'd still be around
'Cause I've been everywhere but I've never found anyone
Quite like you ..
I thought I'd head out for a look at the lake
If you'd go with me girl my heart would just break
Here it's deserted now you know it would make me feel blue
To go there
All alone
Without you
You were the one, you were the only
You were Saturday night
No one else who held me ever felt so right
The way you used to touch me layin' by my side
Everytime I kissed your mouth I thought I'd die
Oooh, it felt so good
I knew I was the envy of our neighborhood
Like I was James Dean and you were Natalie Wood
Underneath the stars we stood
And we danced ..
You were the one, you were the only
You were Saturday night
No one else who held me ever felt so right
The way you used to touch me layin' by my side
Everytime I kissed your mouth I thought I'd die
