[English]

I love her, today

Cause it's Wednesday, I won't be late

I don't need to know if you're feeling when I'm free

Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

Sunday but on Thursday... Thursday

Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

Sunday but on Thursday, make sure you are thirsty

Ohhhh on Thursday, baby get ready ohhh on Thursday

Woaahoooh hold it ohh on Thursday,

Just wait on Thursday, baby only Thursday

...

Girl I try, Girl I try

I've been here for too long

Baby don't cry

Why are you calling again?

But It's not Thursday, baby why you calling?

Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

Sunday but on Thursday... Thursday

Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

Sunday but on Thursday, make sure you are thirsty

Ohhhh on thursday, baby get ready ohhh on Thursday

Woaahoooh hold it ohh on Thursday,

Just wait on Thursday, baby only Thursday

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday

...
