Last Friday Night
F.L.M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s Friday afternoon another busy week has reached an end
My paycheck’s in my pocket and I’ve got a lot of cash to spend
I know I’m gonna hear about it soon as I get home
’Cause you don’t like me goin’ out and leavin’ you alone
I wish you’d try to understand I need this time with my best friends
You’re gonna have to realize this isn’t gonna change
I don’t think it’s too much to ask a six-for-one exchange
Need my toe-tappin’ knee-slappin’ every Friday night with the boys
Don’t even try to tell me that I’m gonna have to tone it down
And cut it back to once a month and maybe swap some days around
Well Johnny’s busy Saturdays and Jeff and Jim are too
And Sundays we are all tied up with so much stuff to do
Tonight’s the only night we’ve got to have some fun and hit the town
Stop puttin’ on the pressure ‘cause it isn’t gonna work
I’m sorry, babe, but you can’t make me out to be a jerk
Need my scene-stealin’ free-wheelin’ every Friday night with the boys
I’m gonna tell you one more time so darlin’ don’t be getting mad
I know that you’re their momma but remember I’m their dad
I want to give them all the time my father never had
Tonight we’ll see a movie and go out for ice cream when we’re done
Or maybe eat some pizza and then hit the arcade just for fun
If I should wait for twenty years by then they’ll all be gone
So I’ll just thank the Lord above that we all get along
There’s nothing in the world as good as spending time with my three sons
You’ll never have to worry ‘cause we’re always home by ten
We never look for trouble we’re just being manly men
Just my side-splittin’ seed-spittin’ every Friday night with my boys




I want that noise-makin’ treat-takin’ every Friday night with my boys
I need my kid-shovin’ son-lovin’ every Friday night with my boys

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to F.L.M's "Last Friday Night" depict a man who is excited about the end of the week and the prospect of going out with his friends on a Friday night, but his partner is not happy about it. She doesn't like him going out and leaving her alone, but he feels that he needs this time with his friends. He argues that he should be allowed to go out with his best friends once a week, and that it's not too much to ask for a six-for-one exchange. He also wants to spend time with his three sons and give them the time that his father never gave him.


The song is about balancing responsibilities and relationships with the need to have some fun and blow off steam. It's about communication and understanding between partners, as well as the importance of being there for your children. While the man in the song wants to have a good time with his friends and his sons, he also wants to avoid conflict with his partner and maintain a healthy relationship with her.

There's a stranger in my bed
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbies on the barbecue
This a hickey or a bruise?
Pictures of last night ended up online, I'm screwed
Oh, well
It's a blacked out blur, but I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn
Last Friday night
Yeah, we danced on tabletops, and we took too many shots
Think we kissed, but I forgot last Friday night
Yeah, we maxed our credit cards and got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard last Friday night
We went streaking in the park, skinny-dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois last Friday night
Yeah, I think we broke the law, always say we're gonna stop-op, oh-whoa
But this Friday night
Do it all again
But this Friday night
Do it all again
Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier is on the floor
Ripped my favorite party dress
Warrant's out for my arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail
Pictures of last night ended up online, I'm screwed
Oh, well
It's a blacked out blur, but I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn
Last Friday night
Yeah, we danced on tabletops, and we took too many shots
Think we kissed, but I forgot last Friday night
Yeah, we maxed our credit cards and got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard last Friday night
We went streaking in the park, skinny-dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois last Friday night
Yeah, I think we broke the law, always say we're gonna stop-op, oh-whoa
But this Friday night
Do it all again (do it all again)
But this Friday night
Do it all again (do it all again)
But this Friday night
Last Friday night
Yeah, we danced on tabletops, and we took too many shots
Think we kissed, but I forgot last Friday night
Yeah, we maxed our credit cards and got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard last Friday night
We went streaking in the park, skinny-dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois last Friday night
Yeah, I think we broke the law, always say we're gonna stop-op, oh-whoa
But this Friday night
Do it all again
