[English]

If I share a little secret, can you keep it?

It wasn't supposed to be a thing

Disco ballin' every weekend

'Til you walked in (DISCO)

You got me seeing different

I was wishing my time away

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay

Now I'm wishing for one more day

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay

Come on

One second without you is just too long

Been calling out your name like it's my song

Keep counting down the days to you

It's getting me through those Monday blues

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

It's the weekend (it's the weekend)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

It's the weekend (it's the weekend)

I thought that were were only doing the hustle, I let my heart go

I got to know your skeleton

You told me you're like earth, wind and fire

And that made my mind up

Baby, I remember when...

I was wishing my time away

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay

Now I'm wishing for one more day

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay

Come on

One second without you is just too long

Been calling out your name like it's my song

Keep counting down the days to you

It's getting me through those Monday blues

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

It's the weekend (it's the weekend)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

It's the weekend (it's the weekend)

(Oh-oh-oh) You make every day feel like Saturday

(Let's go, oh-oh) Oh, you get me through those Monday blues (come on)

Ooh-ooh, get me through the weekday, get me to the weekend

Ooh-ooh, get me through the weekday, get me to the weekend

Come on

One second without you is just too long

Been calling out your name like it's my song

Keep counting down the days to you

It's getting me through those Monday blues

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

It's the weekend (it's the weekend)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

It's the weekend (it's the weekend)
