[Verse 1]
Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do, ooh
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine that you won't be in

[Verse 2]
When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should have known all along that time would tell

[Pre-Chorus]
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I still haven't gotten over you yet

[Chorus]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone

[Pre-Chorus]
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I still haven't gotten over you yet

[Chorus]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone

[Outro]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone

The Go-Go’s

The Go-Go’s were an American rock band formed in 1978. They made history as the first and only all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts. They were led by frontwoman Belinda Carlisle who, after their infamous disbanding, enjoyed a successful solo career.
