Well I was late this morning and someone asked me why and I told her it was Monday, and she said that's a good reason. Then this old song came to mind and I decided to check it out. I was too young to care about lyrics when I first heard the song.
Anyway...
To me in this song Monday is a person that is unavailable on a predictable basis and that the singer is in love with. The “other days” are other people the singer is seeing that are ok but pale in comparison to Monday. When Monday comes into the singers life, the singer can't help but give the relationship another try — even though knowing in the back of the singers mind that the relationship will not work for some reason and Monday will probably leave again.
Just substitute the name of a person that you are in love with that is not very in love with you for Monday. And some of your other friends for “every other day” and see if it works.
So why not Tuesday? Another singer had the same problem with Ruby Tuesday. But this time the singer did the right thing and said good bye.
Such is life...
And the other days of the week... that would make a good homework assignment (no really, I have to go now...)
