Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Will you love me or leave me?

I'm here, retrieve me

Don't say it's over, over, over

I need some meaning

Expressed with feeling

It's not over, over, over

The way you look at me

It speaks of intimacy

And it's not over, over, over

Come on

Why not?

Thursday then Friday

It's soon gonna be the weekend

Let's start it tonight, babe

Stay with me for the weekend

It's Thursday night, let's get it right

I wanna know you're gonna stay for the weekend

Starting tonight, let's do it right

I wanna know you're gonna stay for the weekend

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Stay with me for the weekend

It could be now

Could be tomorrow

And it's not over, over, over

I'm lost in a dream

About you and me

Then it's not over, over, over

And when I wake

I'll call it fate

And it's not over, over, over

Come on

Why not?

It's Thursday night, let's get it right

I wanna know you're gonna stay for the weekend

Starting tonight, let's do it right

I wanna know you're gonna stay for the weekend

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

I wanna know you're gonna stay for the weekend

Take that trip down memory lane

Where you're never gonna feel the same

Where you're never gonna take the blame

Change your name, now you out the game

So you head outside, feel the rain

Something in your brain can't break the chain

Same mistake again, fake the pain again

Day to day you prowl, wakey-wakey now

Holy cow, you're in doubt

You left and now you feel down

Your heart lies back in that town

So creep back in, don't make a sound

Or lose your crown again, sleep around again

Tell your friends that you're proud

Or ask yourself what you really want from life

Don't follow that crowd

I've never tried to make you walk into the deep end

And now I find myself awake from all the weekend

I never tried to force that Sunday morning creep-in

I want to stay, but I must row that boat home

It's Thursday night, let's get it right

I wanna know you're gonna stay for the weekend

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

I wanna know you're gonna stay for the weekend

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Stay with me for the weekend
