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

I got me a brand new car

Waitin' in the driveway

Shinin' like a bright new star

I've been wishin' on it everyday

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 goin' off the deep end

Call it what you want, I've made up my mind

I don't have to be me till Monday

Friday, Saturday, Sunday

I ain't gonna face reality

Three days without punchin' a time clock

Three nights of goin' nonstop

No work and all play

I don't have to be me till Monday

Yeah

I can do what I wanna do

Be who I wanna be

I got no one to answer to

As soon as I turn the key

A cash machine, gasoline, and we're out of here

Call it an early weekend

Call it goin' off the deep end

Baby, you and me, we can leave it all behind

'Cause I don't have to be me till Monday

Friday, Saturday, Sunday

I ain't gonna face reality

Three days without punchin' a time clock

Three nights, goin' nonstop

No work and all play

I don't have to be me till Monday

Oh, three days without punchin' a time clock

Three nights, goin' nonstop

No work and all play

I don't have to be me

Till Monday

(I don't have to be me) I don't have to be me till Monday

(I don't have to be me) I don't have to be me till Monday

(I don't have to be me) I don't have to be me

Till Monday
