(Ba da, ba da da da)
So good to me
(Ba da, ba da da da)
Monday, Monday
It was all I hoped it would be
On Monday mornin'
Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still
Be here with me
Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Sometimes, it just turns out that way
Oh, Monday mornin'
You gave me no warnin' on what was to be
Oh, Monday, Monday, how could you leave
And not take me?
Every other day (every other day), every other day
Every other day of the week is fine (fine), yeah
But whenever Monday comes (but whenever Monday comes)
But whenever Monday comes,
Then you can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday, Monday
(Ba da, ba da da da)
So good to me
(Ba da, ba da da da)
Monday, Monday
It was all I hoped it would be
On Monday mornin'
Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still
Be here with me
Every other day (every other day), every other day
Every other day of the week is fine (fine), yeah
But whenever Monday comes (but whenever Monday comes)
But whenever Monday comes,
Then you can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday, Monday
(Ba da, ba da da da)
So good to me
(Ba da, ba da da da)
Monday, Monday
(Ba da, ba da da da)
So good to me, yeah
