Never on Sunday
Arthur Lyman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest
Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day
A pay day, and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day
A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
But never, never on a Sunday
In Arthur Lyman's song 'Never On Sunday,' he talks about kissing and how any day is good for it except Sunday. He mentions that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are all great days to kiss but Sunday is off-limits because that's his day of rest. The song talks about how he wants to be left alone on his day of rest and only be kissed on other days of the week. He even goes as far as to say that he wouldn't refuse a kiss on a gray day, a May day, or a pay day.
The lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, but one can say that the message is about setting boundaries and respecting them. The singer is saying that he needs a day to himself where he can relax and recharge, and it's important for his partner to understand that. It's not that he doesn't want to be kissed on Sundays because he doesn't like his partner, but rather he wants to maintain a healthy balance in his life.
Overall, the song 'Never On Sunday' is a sweet and playful tune that reminds us of the importance of setting boundaries in our relationships.
