Something for the Weekend
Ben Westbeech Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun is shining so let's get high
I don't need no no reason why
I got nothing else to do do do
It's time to get rid of all your things
It's time to live out your wildest dreams
If you want me I will go with you

Take those shoes off and we're gonna fly
Make an exit and say good bye
To the streets we're gonna start a new
Turn the speakers up and let's dance
We've been stupid to miss this chance
Just enjoy this like you want'd too

Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?

Sun is shining, you're looking fly
All my problems passing me by
The only world I know's to live like this
Get the car and go into town
Meet some peeps that like to get down
Maybe grab a drink or two with you
(Or three with you)
And the heat is warming your skin
And you know me we 'bout to go in
That the spirit's gonna take you away
We are sinners but do we sin
Don't know when or where to begin
We keep rolling as the day goes by, high

Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?

Now is not time and I feel wrong
Looking out 'cause everyone's gone
Lost my phone somewhere along the way (where's my phone)
Can't get through to all of my friends
And i'm so far away from my ends
And know the night bus doesn't take me there (or anywhere)
So I take a walk on my own
So i'm in direction of home
Falling, I see deezie ? stumble by
And I know that this ain't right tryin to keep all of my side
I'll only bed seems like a bed to me

Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?




Can I get it a little something for the weekend?
Can I get it a little something for the weekend?

So I take a walk on my own

Falling, I see deezie ? stumble by
I see someone else who is also struggling in their own way


And I know that this ain't right tryin to keep all of my side
I know that what I'm doing is not the best choice and I need to make a change


I'll only bed seems like a bed to me
At this point, going to sleep seems like the best option for me
