Please don't keep us waiting
Hurry light up the night
Big plans in the making
And we've got to do it up right
He'll pick me up at seven
I've been ready for an hour or more
We both smile 'cause we both know
What's in store

Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Looking for a big night
As long as Friday rolls around
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Lookin' for a big night
When every Friday rolls around

Every Monday morning
I start out feelin' real low
'Cause I've got for long nights
And five long days to go
Then I begin anticipating
Till there's no one else around
I think about you until my resistance
Don't wanna be found

Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Looking for a big night
As long as Friday rolls around
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Lookin' for a big night
When every Friday rolls around

Comtemplating the madness
Keeps me in this state of mind
It's not the good it's the badness
That puts me over the line
Everybody should feel it
Everybody should know what it's like
To lose control
And lose your soul
To Friday night

Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Looking for a big night
As long as Friday rolls around
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Lookin' for a big night
When every Friday rolls around

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
