I've got me a brand new car
Waiting in the driveway
Shining like a bright new star
I've been wishin on her everyday
To take me away from here
So I called in to where I work
Told a little white lie
No, my back don't really hurt
But that's my alibi
My temporary ticket too anywhere but there
Call it an early weekend
Call it going off the deep end
Call it what you want
I've made up my mind
I don't have to be me til Monday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I ain't gonna face reality
Three days without punchin a time clock
Three nites of goin non- stop
No work and all play
I don't hafta be me til Monday
I can do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
I got no one to answer to
Soon as I turn the key
Cash machine, gasoline, and we're outta here
Call it an early weekend
Call it going off the deep end
Baby you and me, we can leave it all behind
Cuz I don't have to be me til Monday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I ain't gonna face reality
Three days w/o punchin a time clock
Three nites of goin non- stop
No work and all play
I don't hafta be me til Monday
Oh three days w/o punchin a time clock
Three nites of goin non- stop
No work and all play
I don't hafta be me til Monday
(I don't have to be me)
I don't have to be me til Monday
(I don't have to be me)
I don't have to be me til Monday
(I don't have to be me)
I don't have to be me til Monday
