Janis Ian
Might As Well Be Monday
[Verse 1]
Might as well be Monday if it's Friday
But it's Friday without you
Every day is lonely, but it's only
On the weekends I crash through
[Verse 2]
Saturday and Sunday aren't holidays
When they are coding blue
Might as well be Monday if it's Friday
But it's Friday without you
[Chorus]
All night, d-d-dancing in the street
They are blistering their feet
While I hide here in the heat
All night, I wonder where you are
But every f-f-Friday we're apart
Might as well be Monday in my heart
[Verse 3]
J-Jackie burned a vein out Monday morning
And it made him miss his bus
Carol heard the comet call on Tuesday
And by Wednesday she was dust
[Verse 4]
Thursday morning paper said in
Twenty billion years the earth will die
By the time my Friday rolled around
I was not sure I was alive
[Chorus]
All night, d-d-dancing in the streets
They are blistering their feet
While I hide here in the heat
All night, I wonder where you are
Every f-f-Friday we're apart
Might as well be Monday in my heart
[Bridge]
Don't look left—don't look right
Something's gaining on you
In the struggle and sweat
I pray for a lick of the light
I take solace—God must get lonely, too
[Verse 1]
Might as well be Monday if it's Friday
But it's Friday without you
Every day is lonely, but it's only
On the weekend I crash through
[Chorus]
All night, d-d-dancing in the street
They are blistering their feet
While I hide here in the heat
All night, I wonder where you are
Every f-f-Friday we're apart
Might as well be Monday in my heart
