Sunday
Young Lester Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm blue every Monday
Thinking only of Sunday
That's one day when I'm with you
It seems I sigh all day Tuesday
I cry all day Wednesday
Oh my how I long for you
And then comes Thursday, gee it's long it never goes by
Friday makes me feel like I'm gonna die

But after payday it's my fun day
I shine all day Sunday

That's one day when I'm with you
Want to see you next Sunday!
