Pop Song 440 of 500 'Working for the weekend' Loverboy 1982
The song originated when guitarist Paul Dean was out walking one Wednesday afternoon, looking for inspiration in his songwriting. He noticed that much of the area was deserted, as most people were at work. "So I'm out on the beach and wondering, 'Where is everybody? Well, I guess they're all waiting for the weekend,'" he later said. Mike Reno, the band's vocalist, suggested they change the title to "Working for the Weekend". According to Dean, he first began writing the song in a hotel room following a Montreal concert. At the time, the band were still playing bars to little response from patrons. After completing the song, they used it to open one set, and Dean recalled that "the dance floor was packed.
Everyone's watchin' to see what you will do
Everyone's lookin' at you, oh
Everyone's wonderin' will you come out tonight?
Everyone's tryin' to get it right, get it right
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You wanna piece of my heart?
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show?
Come on baby, let's go!
Everyone's lookin' to see if it was you
Everyone wants you to come through
Everyone's hopin' it'll all work out
Everyone's waiting they're holding out
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance, hey yeah, hey-hey
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You wanna piece of my heart?
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show?
Come on baby, let's go!
Hey!
You wanna piece of my heart?
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show?
Come on baby, let's go!
You wanna piece of my heart?
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show?
Come on baby, let's go!
