Verse 1

Monday wake up bones are achin'
Tuesdays just for show
Wednesdays I don't wanna move
From bed or from my home
Thursdays make me sick, at least
The week is close to end
When Sunday comes I'll fall asleep and
Start over again

In this verse, the singer lays out the heavy feelings of the workweek. Each day feels like a drag, with Monday setting the tone of fatigue. The mention of not wanting to move on Wednesdays shows how draining the week can be. There's a sense of hopelessness as they anticipate the cycle repeating every week, which many can relate to. It sets up a clear contrast for the excitement that follows.

Chorus

We all know
Friday's for fallin' in love
But what is there between to give
Relief from all these fucks
Saturday nights
Can't wait till the next one
Bottles of wine
Blacked out from so much fun
If only
It lasted
Saturday nights

The chorus shifts the mood dramatically. It speaks about the anticipation of Saturday nights and the joy they bring. The line about Friday being for love hints at the excitement of the weekend, but it’s Saturday that truly delivers the fun. The mention of "bottles of wine" and "blacked out" captures the wildness and carefree spirit that often comes with partying. There's a bittersweet tone, though, as they wish these nights could last longer.

Verse 2

Saturday nights are to my likin'
(Monday ain't right, no Tuesday fightin')
Saturday nights are to my likin'
(Wednesday ain't right, no Thursday tryin')
Saturday nights are to my likin'
(Friday's for love, no Sunday cryin')
Saturday nights are to my likin'
Saturday
Saturday nights

This verse repeats the joy of Saturday nights, emphasizing how much they are cherished. The lines in parentheses reflect on the workweek struggles, contrasting them with the fun that Saturday offers.

The repetition of “Saturday nights are to my likin’” reinforces the excitement and importance of these moments.

Chorus

Can't wait till the next one
Bottles of wine
Blacked out from so much fun
If only
It lasted
Saturday nights
Saturday nights
Can't wait till the next one
Bottles of wine
Blacked out from so much fun
If only
It lasted
Saturday nights
