Thank God It's Friday
R Kelly · R. Kelly
Finally the weekend's come and everything is goin' down
Nine to five and now it's time for me to get around
Good poppin', ain't no stoppin', everybody's in the mood
Mind blowin' once you feel the music startin' to get to you
Disco nights, party lights- it's all good for me
Chorus:
Thank God it's Friday, party lights, Friday nights feelin' right
It's a party; thank God it's Friday
Party lights, Friday night feelin' right; it's a party
Throw your hands up if you're ready to get down and jam tonight
Music's got ya jumpin' and you're feeling not a care tonight
Keep goin', don't you stop, just let this volume get in you
Take some time out for yourself and let this Friday get to you
Disco nights, party lights- it's all good for me
Chorus
Oh god, thank you for Friday; oh thank you heavenly Father
Oooh so many people lookin', lookin' for the spot
There's a party over here
So many people lokin' for the party spot
If you find it, let me know and I'll be there until I drop
Valet parking at the club- it lets you know it's Friday night
People swayin', music playin' and this weekend feels so right, yeah
Chorus
My sistas, enjoy your weekend and may God bless all of you
Nine to five and now it's time for me to get around
Good poppin', ain't no stoppin', everybody's in the mood
Mind blowin' once you feel the music startin' to get to you
Disco nights, party lights- it's all good for me
Chorus:
Thank God it's Friday, party lights, Friday nights feelin' right
It's a party; thank God it's Friday
Party lights, Friday night feelin' right; it's a party
Throw your hands up if you're ready to get down and jam tonight
Music's got ya jumpin' and you're feeling not a care tonight
Keep goin', don't you stop, just let this volume get in you
Take some time out for yourself and let this Friday get to you
Disco nights, party lights- it's all good for me
Chorus
Oh god, thank you for Friday; oh thank you heavenly Father
Oooh so many people lookin', lookin' for the spot
There's a party over here
So many people lokin' for the party spot
If you find it, let me know and I'll be there until I drop
Valet parking at the club- it lets you know it's Friday night
People swayin', music playin' and this weekend feels so right, yeah
Chorus
My sistas, enjoy your weekend and may God bless all of you
