Might As Well Be Monday

Janis Ian

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
Saturday & Sunday aren't holidays
when they are coding blue
Might as well be Monday if it's Friday,
but it's Friday without you

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
Evey f-f-Friday we're apart
might as well be Monday in my heart

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
Thursday morning paper said in
twenty million years the earth will die
By the time my Friday rolled around,
I was not sure I was alive

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
Evey f-f-Friday we're apart
might as well be Monday in my heart

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

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
Evey f-f-Friday we're apart
might as well be Monday in my heart
