Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see her dancing out on the floor
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
You wanna, wanna, wanna have her like before
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
But you gonna use her, shape her for your needs
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
You gonna make promises you never, never keep
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
You gonna leave her out on her own
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
'Cause sunday you need love, love, monday be alone
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
Hey you, you, you, you
Tender young lady
Wonder where you go, where you sleep tonight
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
Hey you
Everlovin woman
Beware you don't pass the borderlines of light, again tonight
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
You gonna use her, use her, shape her for your needs
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
You gonna make promises you never, never keep
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
You gonna leave her out on her own
(Sunday you need love, monday be alone)
'Cause sometimes you want her, want her, then again you don't

Overall Meaning

The song "Sunday You Need Love Monday Be Alone" by Trio is about a man who only wants a woman's company when it's convenient for him. On Sunday, he needs someone to love, so he pursues her, but on Monday, he wants to be alone, leaving her feeling used and alone. The lyrics warn the woman to beware of crossing the borderlines of light, which could refer to a moral or emotional boundary that she is in danger of crossing if she gets too involved with him. The chorus emphasizes the theme, with the repetition of "Sunday you need love, love, Monday be alone," driving home the idea of the cyclical nature of the relationship.


Throughout the song, the man is described as using and shaping the woman for his needs, making promises he won't keep, and ultimately leaving her on her own. The woman is advised to find someone else who will treat her well and give her respect. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, but they convey a powerful message about the importance of being honest and respectful in relationships.

TRIO, sensacional! 
Eu tinha 2 anos de idade quando esse álbum foi lançado e comprei numa casa de discos no centro de  Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil quando ainda era um pirralho. 
Hoje escuto esse som e me emociono com tamanha qualidade e categoria de som, aos 41.

Rodrigo Moraes

Muita qualidade musical em uma simplicidade muito grande, uma guitarra e uma bateria com uma caixa um surdo e um prato, e um estilo único inconfundível, os eles foram demais

Vando Gonçalves

Eu tenho esse som no meu pen drive
