Joey Cook 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 wanna have -

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
And girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just to 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 want to 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
And girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just to want to have -

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just to wanna have -

They just wanna -
They just wanna -
They just wanna -
They just wanna -

Oh girls just to want to have fun




Oh girls just to want to have fun
Oh girls just to want to have fun
