Weekend Love
Golden Earring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna have to see you right away
It's been a long time since the day I met her
I can't handle being without her one more day
Gonna get the feeling that I'm going insane
Feel so stupid using these old cliche's
You better hurry up Baby, I ain't lying
We're down to nothing but a waste of time
Still remember everything she said
Make no promises and make no debts
All I want is just a one day weekend love
She sips her wine without a flinching
She's in control of it all the way
Looks so good, pretending that she's listening
By the time I fall asleep, she's gone away
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
And she said it all right from the start
Make no promises and make no debts
But I love that lady, I got to confess
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
The lyrics to Golden Earring's song Weekend Love tell the story of a man who is desperate to see his lover again after being apart for too long. The repetition of the phrase "gonna have to see you right away" emphasizes the urgency of his desire to be with her. He struggles with his own emotions and the fear of being without her, as he feels like he's going insane. However, the woman seems to have a more relaxed attitude towards their relationship, sipping her wine without flinching and pretending to listen. She warns him not to make any promises or debts, but he still loves her and craves more than just a fleeting weekend love.
The lyrics are a poignant reflection on the differences in how men and women approach relationships, with the man being more desperate and the woman more in control. The repetition of the phrase "weekend love" also highlights the fleeting nature of their relationship and how it's not enough for the man, who wants more. The use of cliche's highlights the difficultly in expressing complex emotions and feelings, and how people often resort to using well-worn phrases to capture their true emotions.

Make no promises and make no debts
Don't make any commitments
All I want is just a one day weekend love
I only want a brief love affair
She sips her wine without a flinching
She drinks wine without any hesitation
She's in control of it all the way
She's fully in control of the situation
Looks so good, pretending that she's listening
She appears attractive while pretending to pay attention
By the time I fall asleep, she's gone away
By the time I fall asleep, she's already left
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
She isn't sympathetic to a jealous person
And she said it all right from the start
She was clear about her intentions from the beginning
But I love that lady, I got to confess
But I confess that I love that woman
I want more than just a one day weekend love
I want a longer-term relationship
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
She only wants a brief love affair with me
I want more than just a one day weekend love
I want a longer-term relationship
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
She only wants a brief love affair with me
