Couple of days isn't a very long time
Why can't I just walk away, I used to be good at goodbyes,
Out on the water, under the stars,
I let the moonlight play a trick on my heart

[Chorus:]
You had some fun for the weekend
But I'll be in love for the rest of my life
You took me out to the deep end
And I fell right over I didn't think twice
I found got something worth keeping
And if I can't have you tonight,
At least I had the weekend
The radio plays the sound of the waves rolling in
The smell of the night sure can get under your skin
Just for a moment, I held you too close
Now I'm all out of time and I don't want to let go

[Chorus]

How much can happen in a night or two?
I guess its all depending on your point of view
You had some fun for the weekend (girl)
But I'll be in love for the rest of my life
You took me out to the deep end
And I fell right over I didn't think twice
Finally got something worth keeping
And if I can't have you tonight
At least I had the weekend
