Couple Days Off Lyrics By Huey Lewis The News

    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
