Dirty Words Lyrics

How many days in the weekend?
We should follow this one
How many days in the weekend?
We should follow this one
How many times do her eyes have to meet yours?
How many days in the weekend?
We should follow this one

Think of the lines you could've said
Pick me up, oh they're just dirty words
Think of the thoughts running around her head

She'd be game if you would just play
She'd be game if you would just play
She'd be game if you would just play
Oh, if you would just play

How many days in the weekend?
Take me out of this one
How many days in the weekend?
Take me out of this one
You blew all your chances but so what?
How many days in the weekend?
Take me out of this one

If life is a teacher then I'll be a preacher's son
Well it's a steady job
At least it's a steady job
Look what you've got yourself into
I said look what you've got yourself into

Oh they're just dirty words (x8)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this is possibly one of the strongest records on the album, don't know why it's last?

Anyway, I'm a little confused on some of the meaning of this one. It seems as if the entire song are things he says to himself, or perhaps his thoughts?

I'm pretty sure the guy wants to talk to this certain girl, or ask her out (something along those lines) and he's trying to pluck up the courage to do it. He want's to go for it, but perhaps he's scared.

By the second verse he's messed it all up it seems! He's obviously said something wrong, thus the 'dirty words' !!

I really like the part 'If life is a teacher then i'll be a preachers son...look what you got yourself into...' but have no idea what it all means!! Perhaps he wants to be different and go for the unobvious option? Not sure. Any other suggestions?
