'Cause I'm gonna say
Yeah, Craig David
7 days
Check it out, yeah
On my way to see my friends who lived a couple blocks away from me (oh)
As I walked through the subway
In front of me, stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it'd cost her name, a six digit number and a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? No
Didn't she mind? I don't think so
Was it for real? Damn sure
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged twenty-four
So was she keen? She couldn't wait
Cinnamon queen? Let me update
What did she say? She said she'd love to rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
Said we'd start with a bottle of Moรซt for two
Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
Nine was the time
'Cause I'll be getting mine and she was looking fine
Smooth talker, she told me
She'd love to unfold me all night long
Ooh, I loved the way she kicked it
From the front to back she flipped it (back she flipped it, ooh the way she kicked)
And I oh, I, yeah
Hope that she care
'Cause I'm a man who'll always be there (oh yeah)
I'm not a man to play around, baby (oh yeah)
'Cause a one night stand isn't really fair
From the first impression, girl, hmm, you don't seem to be like that
'Cause there's no need to chat, for there'll be plenty time for that
From the subway to my home
Endless ringing of my phone
When you're feeling all alone
All you gotta do is just call me, call me
Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
(Break it down, break it down)
Since I met this special lady, ooh yeah
I can't get her off my mind
She's one of a kind
And I ain't about to deny it
It's a special kind of thing with you
Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
The song "7 Days" by Craig David tells the story of how the singer meets a beautiful girl on a Monday as he's walking through the subway on his way to see his friends. The girl asks him for the time, and he decides to use this opportunity to ask her out on a date. She agrees, and they make plans to meet up the next day. The rest of the song describes their week-long romance, including drinking Moรซt together, making love by Wednesday, and spending time together every day until they chill on Sunday.

On my way to see my friends who lived a couple blocks away from me (oh)
I started walking towards my friends who lived at a nearby location
As I walked through the subway
I was navigating through the subway system on my way to my friends
It must have been about quarter past three
It was around 3:15 PM when I saw someone in front of me
In front of me, stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
I saw a very attractive woman standing in front of me
She asked me for the time
The woman asked me what time it was
I said it'd cost her name, a six digit number and a date with me tomorrow at nine
I jokingly said that I could tell her the time, but she would have to give me her name, phone number with six digits, and agree to a date with me the next day at 9 PM
Did she decline? No
She did not decline my offer
Didn't she mind? I don't think so
I don't believe she had any problem with my offer
Was it for real? Damn sure
I was serious about my offer
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged twenty-four
The woman was a beautiful 24-year-old
So was she keen? She couldn't wait
She was enthusiastic and looking forward to our date
Cinnamon queen? Let me update
I used a nickname for her, which I updated later
What did she say? She said she'd love to rendezvous
She agreed to go on a date with me
She asked me what we were gonna do
She was curious about our date plans
Said we'd start with a bottle of Moรซt for two
I suggested that we start our date with a bottle of Moรซt champagne for the two of us
Nine was the time
Our date was scheduled for 9 PM
'Cause I'll be getting mine and she was looking fine
I was excited because I knew I would have a good time with her, and she looked great
Smooth talker, she told me
She complimented me about my smooth talking skills
She'd love to unfold me all night long
She expressed her desire to spend the whole night with me
Ooh, I loved the way she kicked it
I enjoyed her style and the way she approached me
From the front to back she flipped it (back she flipped it, ooh the way she kicked)
She impressed me with her attitude and her flirtatious behavior
And I oh, I, yeah
I was really into her
Hope that she care
I hoped that she cared about me as much as I cared about her
'Cause I'm a man who'll always be there (oh yeah)
I wanted her to know that I would always be there for her
I'm not a man to play around, baby (oh yeah)
I wanted her to know that I was not interested in playing games with her
'Cause a one night stand isn't really fair
I thought that a one night stand would be unfair to both of us
From the first impression, girl, hmm, you don't seem to be like that
I could tell from her first impression that she was not like someone who would go for a one night stand
'Cause there's no need to chat, for there'll be plenty time for that
I didn't feel the need to talk too much at the moment, as there would be plenty of time for that in the future
From the subway to my home
I took her from the subway to my home
Endless ringing of my phone
I received many calls from her
When you're feeling all alone
She called me when she felt lonely
All you gotta do is just call me, call me
I wanted her to know that she can always call me if she ever feels lonely
Since I met this special lady, ooh yeah
Ever since I met her, she has been special to me
I can't get her off my mind
I constantly think about her
She's one of a kind
She is very unique and different from other women
And I ain't about to deny it
I am not going to deny how I feel
It's a special kind of thing with you
There is something special between the two of us
Monday
Our date started on a Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
On Tuesday we went out for a drink together
We were making love by Wednesday
Things moved quickly and we started having sex on Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We spent time together on Thursday, Friday, and even Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
On Sunday we relaxed and spent time together
