The O'Jays - Livin' for the Weekend [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Let me just sit down and relax a minute
Let me tell you about it

[Verse 1]
Uh-huh, it's Friday
Uh-huh, thank God it's Friday, and I just got paid
Going across town
Gonna pick up my lady
Have a little bit of fun
Just ain't no telling where I might end up
You might see me on the East side, the West side
I'm even going cross the bridge
Cause I, cause I, cause I hear they really get down over there

[Pre-Chorus]
(Well, well, I)
Owe it to myself
(Well, well, I)
Gonna party
(Well, well, I)
Gonna party
(Well, well, I)
(Well, well, I)
I owe it to myself
(Well, well, I)
Oh, party, party

[Downtempo Chorus]
I'm just living, yeah
(Living for the weekend)
Woo hoo, said I'ma
(Living for the weekend)
I said right now, I'm
(Living for the weekend)
I said this evening
(Living for the weekend)
For the next two days
(Living for the weekend)
Gonna have a real good time
(Living for the weekend)
Gonna have a real, real, real good time
(Living for the weekend)
Gonna party hard, hard

[Disco Break]
Come on, y'all
Let's go downtown
Come on, y'all
Let's groove
Hey, hey

[Verse]
Monday to Thursday, I'm dead on my feet
Most of the time, too tired to eat
When I try to read the paper
I fall fast asleep
But as soon as Friday rolls around
I lay all my weekly burdens down
I put on my glad rags and paint the town

[Uptempo Chorus]
(Living for the weekend)
Friday night alive
(Living for the weekend)
Said I'm living for the weekend
(Living for the weekend)
Don't stop when I party down

[Hook]
Party hard, party down
Party hard, party down

[Verse 2]
As soon as on Monday rolls around again
I got to put all that partying to an end
Got to solve that same old grind
With those 5-day-a-week
Sometimes, I get frustrated through the day
Take off early and a cut in pay
At the time, I don't really care
Because I done took all that I can bear

[Chorus]
(Living for the weekend)
(Living for the weekend)
(Living for the weekend)
That's when I party down

[Hook x3]
