I Don't Have To Be Me ('Til Monday) (Single Version)

I got me a brand new car

Waiting in the driveway

Shining like a bright new star

I've been wishing on it every day

To take me away from here

So I called in to where I work

Told a little white lie

No, my back don't really hurt

But that's my alibi

My temporary ticket to anywhere but there

Call it an early weekend

Call it going off the deep end

Call it what you want

I made up my mind

I don't have to be me 'til Monday

Friday, Saturday, Sunday

I ain't gonna face reality

Three days without punching a time clock

Three nights of goin' non-stop

No work and all play

I don't have to be me 'til Monday

Yeah

I can do what I wanna do

Be who I wanna be

I got no one to answer to

Soon as I turn the key

A cash machine, gasoline, and we're outta here

Call it an early weekend

Call it going off the deep end

Baby, you and me

We can leave it all behind

'Cause I don't have to be me 'til Monday

Friday, Saturday, Sunday

I ain't gonna face reality

Three days without punching a time clock

Three nights of going non-stop

No work and all play

I don't have to be me 'til Monday

Oh, three days without punching a time clock

Three nights going non-stop

No work and all play

I don't have to be me 'til Monday

(I don't have to be me)

I don't have to be me 'til Monday

(I don't have to be me)

I don't have to be me 'til Monday

(I don't have to be me)

I don't have to be me 'til Monday
