Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I come home in the morning light

My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"

Oh, Mama dear, we're not the fortunate ones

And girls, they want to have fun

Oh, girls just want to have fun

[Verse 2]

The phone rings in the middle of the night

My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"

Oh, Daddy dear, you know you're still number one

But girls, they want to have fun

Oh, girls just want to have

[Chorus]

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Oh girls, they want to have fun

Oh, girls just want to have fun (Girls, they want to, want to have fun, girls want to have)

[Verse 3]

Some boys take a beautiful girl

And hide her away from the rest of the world

I want to be the one to walk in the sun

Oh, girls, they want to have fun

Oh, girls just want to have

[Chorus]

That's all they really want

Is some fun

When the working day is done

Oh, girls, they want to have fun

Oh, girls just want to have fun (Girls, they want to, want to have fun, girls want to have)

[Chorus]

They just want to, they just want to

They just want to, they just want to, oh, girls (Girls, girls just want to have fun)

Girls just want to have fun (They just want to, they just want to)

They just want to, they just want to

They just want to, they just want to, oh, girls (Girls, girls just want to have fun)

[Chorus]

Girls just want to have fun

When the working

When the working day is done

Oh, when the working day is done

Oh, girls

Girls just want to have fun

Everybody

[Outro]

They just want to, they just want to

They just want to, they just want to, oh, girls (Girls, girls just want to have fun)

Girls just want to have fun

(They just want to, they just want to) When the working

When the working day is done (They just want to, they just want to)

Oh, when the working day is done (Girls, girls just want to have fun)

Oh, girls, girls just want to have fun (They just want to, they just want to)

They just want to, they just want to
