Monday Morning
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching as the waves roll by it makes me understand
What it is to make a life that means a little more
Seems so easy to forget what we're all looking for
I don't know where I'm going just yet
Skipping work and I don't need to excuse it
Long as that floating feeling I get in the moment
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
We are never gonna be that boring
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
So, so ordinary same old story
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
I had a party, it went long, I told 'em all to stay
Neighbors calling to complain and rain on our parade
They told me to use my head and keep my focus straight
Shame on all of you for being stiff and so straight laced
Let them keep talking, I don't regret
They can't help it, caught up in their mindset
Long as that floating feeling I get in the moment
Makes it really worth it
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
We are never gonna be that boring
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
So, so ordinary same old story
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
Nani, naki, nana, nani, naki, nana
Nani, naki, nana, nani, naki, nana
Nani, naki, nana, nani, naki, nana
Sweet shot cherry pop
Everybody go to the beat, don't stop
Keep up body rock cardiac arrest
It's a culture shock
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
We are never gonna be that boring
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
So, so ordinary same old story
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
