"Friday I'm in Love"
is a song by British rock band The Cure. It is the second single taken from the
álbum Wish (1992), and was a worldwide hit. It won the award for European
Viewer's Choice for Best Music Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.
Robert Smith, the song's primary writer, described it in
1992 as both "a throw your hands in the air, let's get happy kind of
record" and "a very naïve, happy type of pop song."
The Cure are an English rock
band formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1976. The band has experienced several
line-up changes, with vocalist, guitarist, and principal songwriter Robert
Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in
the late 1970s with their debut álbum Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along
with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New
Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in
the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and
tormented music (as well as Smith's stage look) was a staple of the emerging
style of music known as gothic rock.
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Oh Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Mondays you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love.
