(Well, well, well)
(Well, well, well)

Well, well, well
Look who's home
My, I thought you didn't gonna make it tonight, honey

Oh, me?
Oh yes, I'm getting ready to go out
Oh no, no, no
No, I know you didn't think I was staying home again tonight

Oh no, brother, I can see
I'm gonna have to explain something to you
Oh, it's no like that anymore
Don't you understand that?
Don't you realize it yet?

Maybe I can make you understand with these few words?
I'll try to make it as brief as possible

(Well, well, well)
(Well, well, well)

I can't take the hearbreak of you leaving me again
And I'm not the one I was back then, no, no, no, no
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but I'm not staying home

(Night and day) I was patient
But I've had all I could take (All I can take)

(One night the time is right)
Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but the chance ain't wide)
Goin' to find a friend to spend the weekend

(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)

Baby, don't see the love 'cause it was never, never here before
You close your eyes and I'm closing the door
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but you see I'm not stayin' home

'Cause night and day I was patient
But I've had all I could take

(Tonight's the night the time is right)
Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but the chance ain't wide)
I'm goin' to find, to find someone, someone to spend the night, baby

(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (I said tonight, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (I said tonight, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (I said tonight, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)

Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tooroo, gotta go out
Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tootooroo (Hey, hey, hey)
Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tooroo, gotta go out
Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tootooroo

'Cause night and day, you see, baby, I was patient
But I've had all I could take (I've had all I could take now)

Night and day (Oh yeah, yeah)
But I've had all I could take (I've had all I could take)

(Tonight's the night the time is right)
Maybe I'll find someone, somebody who want my body, baby
(Goin' out, but the chance ain't wide)
I'm goin' to find someone to spend the night

(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (Oh yes, it is)




(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (That's right, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Weekend" by Simmons & Christopher featuring Class Action explore the theme of personal growth and moving on from a toxic relationship. The conversation in the song is between two individuals, one who is determined to go out and have a good time and the other who is trying to understand why they can't stay home and continue as they were before.


The first person, who seems to have gone through heartbreak before, expresses their unwillingness to be left alone again. They make it clear that they are not the same person they were in the past and cannot tolerate staying home alone. They declare that they will find a friend to spend the weekend with, suggesting a desire for companionship and enjoyment outside of the relationship.


The second person, possibly the one who caused the heartbreak, seems to be in denial about the situation. They refuse to accept that things have changed and continue to close themselves off emotionally. The first person asserts that they cannot take sitting at home alone and urges the second person to do as they please but emphasizes that they will not stay home. The mention of "night and day" suggests that the first person has been patient and understanding for a long time but has reached their breaking point.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of moving on, finding one's own happiness, and not waiting around for someone who doesn't appreciate or reciprocate their love.
