lyrics

Seven days a week you speak of the comin’ week’s end/ You seek friends
You call ‘em all up to see what’s goin’ on
Plannin’ to beat the night and trip to the dawn
‘Cause it’s 6 o’clock and you got lots on your mind/ Unwind
Forget about Thursday, Wednesday and the rest
‘Cause it’s Friday and y’all that’s the best
Adios to the host of most your dull days
The weekend’s here you cheer/ It comes always
The stress, the cure/ You done found it
Your friends begin to rally around it
The night is young and you will explore
The streets they greet what you live for
The vibe is right so y’all get movin’
Tonight’s the night and it’s so soothin’ and I…

Chorus

I gotta get by/ I gotta get by
I gotta go and try to do my thing 4x

You see I’m lookin’ for the outlet for the weekly suppress
Step into the strobe light gonna dance all night
Go up to the bar water down crack your tab and let’s party y’all ‘cause it’s get loose time
Feelin’ fine unwind to that steady poundin’/ Feel the vibe it grows and you start drownin’
In a sea of faces movin’ to the groove/ It’s get loose time
Small talk take a chance and you start dancin’
The deejay he plays what they people they say
What they dip and dive stayin’ alive absorbed by the soft centered melody/ You just set it free
The bourgeois they move/ but they too decay
‘But that’s okay ‘cause anyone can play
When you step into the arena of the feel good/ have fun
No one holds back/ It’s always like that and I…

Chorus

I said my body is movin’ last thing on my mind right now is to punch that clock/ ‘Cause I can’t stop
It feels good to me so what the heck
Work forty hours for this to keep me in check
And I will survive until I get a chance to let loose and do it again
Sick days ain’t no ways good enough to make me feel like my old friend
I said it dates back to my childhood/ Homework, classwork now I gotta go and work some more
If I didn’t know better I would swear that workin’s all I’m livin’ for
Until my weekend swings around and picks me up when I’m down
And kisses me right on the lips
Like a faithful friend ‘til the end when I’m in need it always seems that she helps me get a grip and i…

Chorus
