[Verse 1]
[Abdul Ra'oof]
I'm really pleased to meet you, girl
And I'd like to get to know you better
Maybe tonight we can get together
For a while, you and I

[Mary Davis]
I just don't have time
But I'm not turning you down
I can't accept your invitation now
'Cause I work all day and sleep all night

[Chorus]
I'm a weekend girl
And I don't have time on the weekday
Weekend girl
But maybe we can try to work it out

[Verse 2]
[Abdul Ra'oof]
My offer stands
I think you're worth the wait
And there's only one way to find out
To spend some time is the only way
But it may require some sacrifice

[Mary Davis]
I would like to see you tonight
What's holding you back?
My J-O-B is rough on me
And that keeps me from hanging out

[Chorus]
I'm a weekend girl
And I don't have time on the weekday
Weekend girl
But maybe we can try to work it out

Weekend girl
(Oh...oh oh...)
And I wish that I could see you
Weekend girl
(Oh...oh oh...)
But maybe we can try to work it out

[Bridge: Abdul Ra'oof + Mary Davis]
I never let nothing keep me from what I want
No rent, no job
Gonna do what I want to do
It has never dawned on me that I was so tied down
(So tied down)
This time I'll let myself go free
Take the chance and find some happiness

[Interlude: Abdul + Mary]
So what are you gonna do?
Can we get together tonight
On the weekend or what?
I really don't know what to do
I've never been in this situation before

(Weekend girl...Weekend girl)

[Refrain]
Go 'head, weekend girl
Have some fun on the weekday
Go 'head, weekend girl
Have some fun on the weekday

[Interlude: Abdul + Mary]
Yes, why not?
What time shall I expect you?
Say, seven o'clock
Uh-huh
Maybe I can pick you up for dinner, you know
And, uh, check this movie out
Oh, yeah, that sounds good
Maybe we'll slide by the beach a little later on
Come back check some video out later on tonight
Ha-ha-ha...

[Outro]
Weekend girl
Weekend girl
Weekend girl
