Weekend Woman Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Hey, look who's here
This place is not my home
A change has got to come
Face hot with tears
How was I suppose to know?
The ABC's of love

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Salvation lies within
Don't ask me what I did
When God made her he threw away the formula

[Verse 2]
Get in, get out
No time for poetry
You can't change people's minds
I'll meet you there
Your walls are painted green
Our vines have intertwined

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Was this your parting gift?
Black eye and bloody lip
Ten years from now I'll still remember every word

[Bridge]
I still believe your beautiful lies
(I still believe your beautiful lies)
You don't have to die to go to Heaven
I still believe your beautiful lies
(I still believe your beautiful lies)
It almost makes me feel young again

[Chorus]
Fell in love on a Sunday
By Monday morning I drifted away
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
Just can't seem to get back there
I'm getting stuck in the weekday traffic
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
All I want is to reach my weekend woman

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'm not entirely sure, but from first analysis it seems like it's about a relationship that flourished when the narrator and his love interest were younger though approaching adulthood (hence the last day of the weekend: Sunday, being the day he fell in love. It's still the weekend (youth) but it's almost over (approaching adulthood)), a time when they had less responsibilities and could live in a more relaxed, blissful state--as people do during the weekend, when many people are off from work and make relaxing or recreational plans. So he falls in love with this woman in a 'weekend'-like joyous phase of life. But as they got older, and the relationship evolved, life got more busy and stressful, responsibilities loaded up, and things weren't the same between the pair anymore. Their relationship became akin to a monday morning, your weekend fun and happiness switches to dread, distractions, busy-ness, and handling the hardships of work. Perhaps he didn't put enough effort into maintaining the relationship, and thus drifted away; they became distant from each other. He just wants to get back to how the relationship was in its earlier "weekend"-like days. However, his woman doesn't seem to have the same desire to get back to those days. It seems like she wants to break up. "You can't change people's minds" -- her mind is made up about ending their relationship. "Was this your parting gift?" -- suggests she is the one who wanted to leave, as the person who acts as a guest (someone who comes and then goes), they leave a goodbye gift. Her 'gift' or result of wanting to leave is him getting beat up over the loss of his significant other. The third verse, "I still believe your lies" seems like he could be describing not-so-much lies but promises this woman made of being together forever that turned out not getting fulfilled. He says "You don't have to die" in the hopes of getting back to a happy relationship, so he suggests instead to "Go to heaven"--that is, to be resurrected/revitalize the relationship or her feelings. So overall, this song might describe how the narrator feels in the days before the final goodbye to him and his 'weekend' woman's relationship.

Sorry just want to add: -he still believes her false promises that they could still be together happily and forever. -the imagery of falling in love on a Sunday and his references to God a few times throughout the song could additionally be alluding to how Christian people go to church and celebrate God and salvation on Sundays, but then on Mondays and throughout the week 'drift away' from God and act differently; they may not carry the same outlook of joy, love, and hope on the days of the week other than Sunday.
