The Weekend
SZA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you got a girl
Yeah, how you want me?
How you want me when you got a girl?
The feelin' is reckless
Of knowin' it's selfish
And knowin' I'm desperate
Gettin' all in your love
Fallin' all over love, like
Do it 'til it hurts less
Hangin' out the back, all up in your lap
Like is you comin' home? Is you out with her?
I don't care long as you here by 10:30, no later than
Drop them drawers, give me what I want

My man is my man, is your man
Heard it's her man too
My man is my man, is your man
Heard that's her man
Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
I just keep him satisfied through the weekend
You like 9 to 5, I'm the weekend
Make him lose his mind every weekend
You take Wednesday, Thursday
Then just send him my way
Think I got it covered for the weekend

I gotta say I'm in the mood for a little bit more of that
I mean I'm saying what kind of deal, just two days?
I need me at least 'bout four of them, more of them
More you on me, on us
Just tell me you want me, yeah
Monday and I'll be at your door
Ready to take her place
Ready to give you
What you've been missin' on weekdays
What you've been waitin' for
10:30, no later than
Drop them drawers, I know what you want

My man is my man, is your man
Heard it's her man too
My man is my man, is your man
Heard that's her man
Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
I just keep him satisfied through the weekend
You like 9 to 5, I'm the weekend
Make him lose his mind every weekend
You take Wednesday, Thursday (don't worry 'bout none)
Then just send him my way (don't worry 'bout none)
Think I got it covered for the weekend

Overall Meaning

In The Weekend, SZA sings about being the other woman in a relationship. The song’s lyrics are filled with desperation and longing. SZA poses the question of why her lover would want her when he already has a girlfriend. She knows that it's selfish, but she doesn't care. She's so in love with him that she's willing to let him use her just for the weekend, even though he already has a girlfriend. The singer seems to find a sort of sick thrill in knowing that her lover has a girlfriend and that she's being used.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of sharing a man. SZA sings about how her man is also her lover’s man and the woman’s man they are sharing him with. The lyrics suggest that this sharing happens throughout the week, but SZA has particularly the weekends reserved for her lover. SZA claims that she can satisfy her lover in ways that his girlfriend can't, suggesting that she's more exciting and adventurous than the other girl.


Overall, The Weekend is a song about a painful reality that many people find themselves in, being the sidepiece in a relationship and not being able to have the full-time attention of the person you love. It reflects the idea that people sometimes seek out excitement, even if it means hurting themselves or others.
