I got me a brand new car waiting in the driveway
Shinin' like a bright new star, I've be 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 in
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 'til Monday
Yeah

I can do what I want to do,be who I want to 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 goin' off thedeep end
Baby,you and me,we can leave it all behind

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 'til Monday
Yeah

Oh,there 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

(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 Moday
(I don't have to be me)
I don't have to be me 'til Monday
