Friday on My Mind
Chasing Weekend Dreams: The Beat of Liberation
Lyrics
Monday mornin' feels so bad
Monday morning is unpleasant
Ev'rybody seems to nag me
Feeling nagged by everyone
Comin' Tuesday I feel better
Tuesday brings improvement in mood
Even my old man looks good
The narrator sees positive aspects, even in their old man
Wed'sday just don't go
Wednesday is not enjoyable
Thursday goes too slow
Thursday feels slow and dragging
I've got Friday on my mind
Anticipation and excitement for Friday
Gonna have fun in the city
Planning to have fun in the city
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
Looking forward to being with a beautiful girl
She looks fine tonight
The girl looks exceptionally good tonight
She is out of sight to me
The girl is impressive and captivating to the narrator
Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
Planning to spend money tonight
I'll lose my head, tonight
Expecting to have a carefree and enjoyable time
I've got to get to night
Expressing the urgency to get to the night
Monday I'll have Friday on my mind
Even on Monday, thinking about the upcoming Friday
Do the five day grind once more
Resigned to the routine of the five-day workweek
I know of nothin' else that bugs me
Frustration with work, nothing else bothers the narrator as much
More than workin' for the rich man
Discontent with working for the rich
Hey! I'll change that scene one day
Expressing a desire to change this situation someday
Today I might be mad, tomorrow I'll be glad
Emotional fluctuation between anger and happiness
'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind
Anticipation of a joyful Friday lifts the narrator's spirits
Gonna have fun in the city
Planning to have fun in the city (repeated)
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
Excitement about being with a beautiful girl (repeated)
She looks fine tonight.
Reiteration of the girl's attractiveness tonight
She is out of sight to me
Reiteration of the girl being outstanding to the narrator
Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
Planning to spend money tonight (repeated)
I'll lose my head, tonight
Expectation of losing oneself in enjoyment tonight (repeated)
I've got to get to night
Reiteration of the urgency to get to the night (repeated)
Monday I'll have Friday on my mind
Even on Monday, thinking about the upcoming Friday (repeated)
