Janis Ian — Might As Well Be Monday

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Saturday and Sunday aren't holidays When they are coding blue Might as well be Monday if it's Friday But it's Friday without you [Chorus] 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 But every f-f-Friday we're apart Might as well be Monday in my heart [Verse 3] J-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 [Verse 4] Thursday morning paper said in Twenty billion years the earth will die By the time my Friday rolled around I was not sure I was alive [Chorus] All night, d-d-dancing in the streets They are blistering their feet While I hide here in the heat All night, I wonder where you are Every f-f-Friday we're apart Might as well be Monday in my heart [Bridge] 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 [Verse 1] 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 weekend I crash through [Chorus] 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 Every f-f-Friday we're apart Might as well be Monday in my heart
