Lyrics

Living for the Weekend

Oh, I've been working all week and I'm tired.
I've been working all week and I'm... just living for the weekend.
Hey hey, I got some money, I just got paid, got some money and I can't wait for 6 O'Clock,
I'm outta' heeeere
End of the night there's a club and a glass got my name on.
Run down my street I have glass in my feet, I can't fight it........
I did overtime, working is such a bind, got some money to spend, living for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush, got some money to spend, living for the weekend!
Man! Yeah, I've been working all week and I'm shot, yeah, I've been working all week for what?
Just living for the weekend.
Ahhh. Shit. Saw my girl and I had a fit. Saw my neighbours and all it is...
No she can't come in, she caught her voice.
Slip round the back, at the back there's a place where there's a window.
Drop to the floor, can't risk eyes through the door, I got a family.....
I did overtime, working is such a bind, got some money to spend, living for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush, got some money to spend, living for the weekend!
Can you feel it? Feel the pressure? Rising?
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure, Pressure, Pressure
Feel the pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Oh, Living for the weekend
Going out tonight
Going out tonight
Girl, with you and I going out tonight [Repeat: x4]
