Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hey man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
[Verse 1]
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
Just can't hold a job, where do I belong?
Been sleepin' in my car, my dreams moved on
[Verse 2]
My name is Billie Jean, my love is bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better, but at least I'm getting paid
[PreChorus]
And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
[Chorus]
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
[Verse 3]
Now I can't say my name or tell you where I am
I want to blow myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone else's soul, someone else's face
[PreChorus]
Oh, Tuesday just might go my way
Can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
[Chorus]
Hey man, I'm alive, I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
[Bridge]
Ooh, Saturday night
Hear me now
Someday, I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doing all right
It may not be tomorrow, baby, that's okay
I ain't goin' down, I'm gonna find a way, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
Man, I'm alive
I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I'm gonna live my life
Like I ain't got nothing but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Oh, I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Saturday night
Alright, alright
Saturday night
