Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've been told to live our lives just workin' on the feeling
Waiting for the sun to shine on what we do believe in
In every man I hear the cry of someone else
A drownin' man reachin' out but no one hears
I know a man livin' out his life without a reason
And he says
[Verse 2]
Monday's got a beautiful baby
Mmmm
Wednesday's child can never win
He can never win
Little Saturday will work till he's crazy
Yeah
But Friday's child, he was born to give
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Now what about all the unborn people that will suffer
Oh, baby
At the hands of Mr. Right who cares about no other
I see a mother who lets her children use her up
I know a father who just sacrificed his wayward son
I wonder what you give that someone else is needing
Next to nothin'
[Verse 5]
Monday's got a beautiful baby
Oh, no
Wednesday's child can never win
He can never win
Little Saturday will work till he's crazy
Oh, yeah
But Friday's child, he was born to give
[Verse 6]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, can you hear me
Be, be, be
Dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee
[Verse 7]
Monday's got a beautiful baby
Wednesday's child can never win
He can never, never, never win
Little Saturday will work till he's crazy
No
But Friday's child
As they say
[Verse 8]
Monday's got a beautiful baby
Wednesday's child can never win
He will never, never, never win
Little Saturday will work till he's crazy
But Friday's child
He was Friday's child
He was Friday's child
Mmm, Friday's child
Ja, ja, ja, yeah
Dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee
Mmm, mmm, mmm
[Verse 9]
Friday's child
