Monday's Like Friday's

I don’t really

Feel the need

For weekends

The weekends

Kind of depress me

To tell you the truth

Because, like—

So my favorite part

Of not being a child

Is that, you know

On a Monday or something

You can, like—

Go to a bar

Or something

And meet somebody

And there’s this feeling of like—

Like, you’re really making

The most out of life

Out of your Monday

Because who does fun stuff

On a Monday, right?

Like, a lot of people don’t

So I love that

I try to do that

All week long

Monday, Tuesday—

All week

And then Friday rolls along

And suddenly everybody’s out

And having fun

And it just makes it less special, you know?

The fun

For awhile I was dating this, uh, person

And they’d always want to go out during the week

And never on weekends

And I always thought

That made them so interesting

And I was all about it

I gotta tell you

I was very into the whole thing

But then I found out

That it was just because

They didn’t want to be out with me

When lots of other—

And, you know, in case we got recognized

Because, uh, that wasn’t—

That wasn’t something

They were comfortable with

And so the next time

A Friday night rolled around

You can bet I put up a stink

About staying home

And it was sad, anyway

I mean, it’s fun being out

On a Wednesday

But all my friends

Were going to this bar

And they wanted me and, uh,

This person to go

And the person

This person I was in love with

Said ‘Why don’t we just stay in?’

And I felt ashamed

I felt really bummed out by it
I gotta tell you

But I stayed in

With them

And we, uh,

I don’t know

We watched a movie

Got take-out

That kind of thing

But pretty soon

I just got used to it

The being out

When everybody else is in

It became a habit for me

And when that person, uh,

Left me

I just stuck with it

Because, uh—

It was what I knew

I tried going out once

On a weekend

After they left

And, man, it was just scary

I gotta tell you

I just wasn’t used to it

So loud

So packed everywhere

Couldn’t get a table

Or the bartender’s attention

I thought—

Gee, maybe I haven’t been missing out on much
After all

But it still hurts

To think about

So

I just try

Not to think about it

And I have my Monday’s

My Monday’s like Friday’s

Are what I call ‘em

And they’re fun, yeah

They’re a lot

Of fun
