Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm really pleased to meet you, girl
And I'd like to get to know you better
Maybe tonight we can get together
For awhile, you and I
[Verse 2]
I just don't have time
But I'm not turning you down
I can't accept your invitation now
'Cause I work all day, and sleep all night
[Verse 3]
I'm a weekend girl
And I don't have time on the weekday
Weekend girl
But maybe we can try to work it out
[Verse 4]
My offer stands, I think you're worth the wait
And there's only one way to find out
To spend some time is the only way
But it may require some sacrifice
[Verse 5]
I would like to see you tonight
What's holding me back?
My J-O-B is rough on me
And that keeps me from hanging out
[Verse 6]
I'm a weekend girl
And I don't have time on the weekday
Weekend girl
But maybe we can try to work it out
Weekend girl (Oh, oh)
And I wish that I could see you
Weekend girl (Oh, oh)
But maybe we can try to work it out
[Verse 7]
I never let nothin' keep me from what I want
No man, no job, gonna do what I want to do
It has never dawned on me that I was so tied down (So tied down)
This time I'll let myself go free
Take the chance and find some happiness
[Verse 8]
(So what are you gonna do?)
(Can we get together tonight, on the weekend, or what?)
I really don't know what to do
I've never been in this situation before
[Verse 9]
Weekend girl
Weekend girl
Go 'head, weekend girl
Have some fun on the weekday
Go 'head, weekend girl
Have some fun on the weekday
[Verse 10]
Yes, why not?
What time shall I expect you?
(Say seven o-clock?)
Uh huh
(Maybe I can pick you up for dinner, you know?)
(And uh, check this movie out)
Oh yeah, that sounds good
(Maybe we'll slide by the beach a little later on)
Uh huh
(Probably might take some video out there all night)
[Verse 11]
