Huey Lewis & The News - Couple Days Off lyrics

I like my job and I don't mind the work

But eleven out of twelve is bound to hurt

The pay's pretty good and the benefits are fine

But I got a little girl and I wanna make her mine.

Don't mind telling you I get a little mad

To get a bit ahead takes all the time I have

Don't misunderstand me

I'm not getting soft

All I want is a couple days off.

Can't wait for the weekend

Ah, baby just can't wait no.

I don't need another high song to sing

I don't need a shiny new diamond ring

I don't need to meet nobody else

I just need a little time for myself

'Cause I'm only human, I'm no machine

I need a little loving only you know what I mean

Don't misunderstand me

I'm not getting soft

All i want is a couple days off.

Let me catch my breath.

Thank god for the weekend.

Back to the old grind.

I don't need another long coffee break

I've had as much coffee as a man can take

I need to change my disposition

Change my point of view

I need time to figure out what I want to do.

Believe me when I tell you it gets a little rough

We work a little harder but it never is enough

I'm not afraid to say

I'm a total loss

All I want is a couple days off.

Can't wait for the weekend.
