I Don't Have to Be Me ('Til Monday)

I got me a brand-new car Waiting in the driveway Shining like a bright new star I've been wishing on it every day 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 to anywhere but there Call it an early weekend Call it going off the deep end Call it what you want I 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 punching a time clock Three nights of goin' non-stop No work and all play I don't have to be me 'til Monday Yeah 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 A 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 'Cause I don't have to be me 'til Monday Friday, Saturday, Sunday I ain't gonna face reality Three days without punching a time clock Three nights of going non-stop No work and all play I don't have to be me 'til Monday Oh, three days without punching a time clock Three nights of going non-stop No work and all play 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 (I don't have to be me) I don't have to be me 'til Monday
