We’re gonna pay for the weekend
We’re gonna pay for the weekend
We had to go and jump in the deep end
Never ever never, never ever never again
Up up, down down down
Up up, down down down
It’s cause of the effect yours has on mine
Makes me wanna party like it’s 1929
And as the events of the night unfold
One thing always leads to another
We’re gonna have to put all our plans on hold
When we run into each other
And now we’re gonna pay for the weekend
Paaay for the weekend
We’re gonna pay for the weekend
Paaay for the weekend
We had to go and jump in deep end
Jump in the deep end
Never ever never, never ever never again
Maybe today or maybe tomorrow
Every joy you feel’s got a sorrow
After heads tail’s gonna follow
Leaves you feeling, feeling hollow
And now we’ve gone and racked up all this debt
Trying anything to forget
Monday morning comes and you’re feeling the pain
You tell yourself never ever never, never ever never again
Maybe today or maybe tomorrow
Every joy you feel’s got a sorrow
After heads tail’s gonna follow
It leaves you feeling hollow
Leaves you feeling hollow
Up up, down down down
And now we’re gonna pay for the weekend
Maybe today or maybe tomorrow
Leaves you feeling, feeling hollow
