Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life

Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have...

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls they want to have fun

Girls, they wanna
Wanna have fun
Girls, wanna have

Girls, they wanna
Wanna have fun
Girls

Girls, they wanna
Wanna have fun
Girls, wanna have

Girls, they wanna
Wanna have fun
Girls

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have...

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done

Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls they want to have fun
