Manic Monday

The song was written by Prince. The Manic Monday Songfacts says: Prince's lifestyle is nothing like the workday grind he pokes fun of in this song, which finds a young lady stressing out about being late for work and trying in vain to get there on time. This being a Prince-penned song from the '80s, there is sex involved: we find out in the last verse that she's late because her lover, who apparently doesn't work, hit her up for some lovemaking the night before.

[Verse 1] Six o'clock already, I was just in the middle of a dream I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream But I can't be late, 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid These are the days when you wish your bed was already made [Chorus] It's just another manic Monday (Ooh-oh) I wish it were Sunday (Ooh-oh) 'Cause that's my fun day (Ooh-oh) My I don't have to run day (Ooh) It's just another manic Monday [Verse 2] Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine And if I had an aeroplane, I still couldn't make it on time 'Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear Blame it on the train, but the boss is already there [Chorus] It's just another manic Monday (Ooh-oh) I wish it were Sunday (Ooh-oh) 'Cause that's my fun day (Ooh-oh) My I don't have to run day (Ooh) It's just another manic Monday [Bridge] Of all of my nights Why did my lover have to pick last night to get down? (Last night, last night) Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us? Employment's down He tells me in his bedroom voice "C'mon honey, let's go make some noise." Time it goes so fast (When you're having fun) [Chorus] It's just another manic Monday (Ooh-oh) I wish it were Sunday (Ooh-oh) 'Cause that's my fun day (Ooh-oh) My I don't have to run day (Ooh) It's just another manic Monday (Ooh-oh) I wish it were Sunday (Ooh-oh) 'Cause that's my fun day (Ooh-oh) It's just another manic Monday
