Friday Night
Craig David · Trust Me [2007]
What's going on?
It's Friday night, haven't any ideas but I hoped I might
Be out in the club, not all up in th TV, pile a... I'm watching
What's going on?
'Bout to take what's mine, get me outta this chair,
before I change my mind
Instead of me feeling sorry for myself, gonna get me something
You were supposed to make the plans, it's not like
We got all the girls waiting on us tonight
Wrong side of ten and nobody's picking up the phone, nothing's going on
And you're sitting telling me there's no alcohol
And the cigarettes have gone
(Repeat chorus)
Desperate, so late, yet I'm so up for it
Stupid, wasting time, damned if I can't get
Up outta here on a mainline into unknown
Before I change my mind, if I had to I'd do it all by myself
Time to take what's mine
(Repeat chorus)
Just stand up, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da (x4)
Same old same old, every night
Regretting what I coulda done with my life
Sick and tired of being in when I wanna be out, well you know that
Wrong side of ten and nobody's picking up the phone, nothing's going on
And you're sitting telling me there's no alcohol
And the cigarettes have gone
(Repeat chorus)
Just stand up, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
(repeat...)
