But how I miss you sometimes, love, you might never know

You gotta give up something when you try out anything new 
You gotta give up something when you try out anything new 
But whatever I give up, love, it won't be you 

I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright 
I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright 
When I get back you can treat me like a Saturday night
