Saturday Nite Live

Saturday Nite Live
(Michael Jaye & Marc Mann)

Verse 1
The cupboard was bare and I didn’t know what to do
So I wandered through the night looking for a way
To reconnect with you
We were out of touch, we were out of style
We were everything I didn’t want us to be
And I found myself walking alone down our old street

Verse 2
A man in the window, I saw him kissing his wife
And in the background I could hear they were watching
Saturday Night Live
I stopped walking, but I could hear underneath all the laughter
The things they said as they were talking

Chorus 1
What are you saying to me? Is this all we can be?
I just cannot believe that this is all we can be

Verse 3
I turned the corner and headed for a light on down the street
I looked down to avoid some eyes and there was a pair of bare feet
Belonging to a man I didn’t think I ever wanted to know
He asked me if I knew where he could come in out of the cold

Chorus 2
What are you saying to me? Is this all we can be?
I just cannot believe that this all we can be?

Verse 4
I finally reached the place I knew would be safe and warm
I crawled through the door right into our bedroom
And I saw you naked with just a candle for a light
And you opened your eyes looked at me and you said “goodnight.”

Chorus 3
What are you saying to me? Is this all we can be?
I just cannot believe that this is all we can be
What are you saying to me?
Is this all we can be?
