Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do it all again
(TGIF TGIF TGIF)
I'm here with you
My baby
There's a stranger in my bed
Oh well!
Damn!
Last friday night...

Now raise your hands
Last friday night
Think you know but I forget

Last friday night
Do it all again.

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are a part of a medley that includes four different songs, "Bittersweet Symphony," "Baba O'Riley," "Last Friday Night," and "Hollaback Girl." The lyrics "TGIF TGIF TGIF" in the beginning refer to "Thank God It's Friday," a phrase commonly used to express joy and relief that the work week is over and the weekend has arrived. The singer is excited to be spending time with their partner ("My baby") but admits that there is a stranger in their bed from the previous Friday night. Despite this hiccup, the singer is ready to do it all again and have another exciting weekend.

The repeated use of "Last Friday Night" suggests that the singer is reflecting on a particularly memorable night from the past. The lyric "Think you know but I forget" can be interpreted as the singer not fully remembering what happened that night, perhaps due to alcohol or drug consumption. However, the excitement and joy from that night is still present, and the singer is enthusiastic about doing it all again.
