Seven Days
David Craig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know what?
'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
It must have been about quarter past three
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 Moët 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

Line by Line Meaning

On my way to see my friends who lived a couple blocks away from me (oh)
I was headed to see some pals who lived nearby


As I walked through the subway
I was walking in the subway


It must have been about quarter past three
I think it was around 3:15


In front of me, stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
I saw a stunning woman who was attractive and had a great figure


She asked me for the time
She 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 joked that I would tell her the time if she gave me her name, phone number, and agreed to a date the next day at 9pm


Did she decline? No
She didn't say no


Didn't she mind? I don't think so
I don't think she had a problem with it


Was it for real? Damn sure
I was serious about it


What was the deal? A pretty girl aged twenty-four
She was a good-looking 24-year-old woman


So was she keen? She couldn't wait
She was excited and eager


Cinnamon queen? Let me update
I'm changing my initial description of her to a "cinnamon queen"


What did she say? She said she'd love to rendezvous
She agreed to meet up


She asked me what we were gonna do
She was curious about our plans


Said we'd start with a bottle of Moët for two
I suggested we start with a bottle of Moët champagne for the two of us


Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We got drinks together on Tuesday


We were making love by Wednesday
We were intimate together by Wednesday


And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We continued spending time together throughout the week


We chilled on Sunday
We relaxed together on Sunday


Nine was the time
9pm was the time we had agreed to meet


'Cause I'll be getting mine and she was looking fine
I was confident things would go well and she was attractive


Smooth talker, she told me
She was a good talker


She'd love to unfold me all night long
She was interested in being physically intimate for a long time


Ooh, I loved the way she kicked it
I enjoyed how she interacted with me


From the front to back she flipped it (back she flipped it, ooh the way she kicked)
She was great from all angles


And I oh, I, yeah
I was really into it


Hope that she care
I was hopeful that she felt the same


'Cause I'm a man who'll always be there (oh yeah)
I'm dependable and reliable


I'm not a man to play around, baby (oh yeah)
I'm not the type to fool around


'Cause a one night stand isn't really fair
Having a short-term fling wouldn't be fair to either of us


From the first impression, girl, hmm, you don't seem to be like that
I didn't think she was the type for a quick hookup


'Cause there's no need to chat, for there'll be plenty time for that
We don't need to talk much now because we'll have time to get to know each other later


From the subway to my home
From the time we met on the subway to when she came to my house


Endless ringing of my phone
She kept calling me a lot


When you're feeling all alone
When you're lonely


All you gotta do is just call me, call me
Just call me and I'll be there for you


Since I met this special lady, ooh yeah
Since I met her


I can't get her off my mind
I keep thinking about her


She's one of a kind
She's unique and special


And I ain't about to deny it
I won't deny how I feel about her


It's a special kind of thing with you
There's something special between us
