Cyndi Lyrics


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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna have fun
Oh girls just wantna have fun (girls and boys wanna have fun, girls wanna have)

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun (girls and boys wanna have fun, girls wanna have)
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna, oh girl
Girls they wanna have fun
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna, girls
They just wanna, they just wanna, oh girls
Girls just want to have fun

When the working
When the working day is done
Oh when the working day is done oh girl
Girls, they wanna have fun

They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna, oh girls
Girls just want to have fun

(They just wanna, they just wanna)
When the working
When the working day is done




Oh when the working day is done oh girl
Girls, they wanna have fun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun highlight the desire of women to enjoy their lives and have fun, irrespective of societal responsibilities and pressures to conform. The singer's mother and father are concerned about her life choices, but she emphasizes that girls want to have fun, and that is all they genuinely want. Women are often held to a different standard than men, and the pressure to be responsible and make correct choices can be overwhelming. However, the singer is asserting that women need to be allowed to enjoy their lives just like men do.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the desire for fun that women have, and the focus on enjoyment even after the working day is done. The song encourages women to have a good time and enjoy themselves without constraints or limits. Finally, the lyrics convey the need for women to be free to make decisions for themselves and be in control of their lives, rather than hiding away or being controlled by men.
