Original Bon Jovi version
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm taking each day a night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move on
My name is Billie Jean, my love was bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better, but at least I'm getting paid
And Tuesday just might go my way, it can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind but somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Now I can't say my name and tell you where I am
I want to blow myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone else's soul, someone else's face
Oh, Tuesday just might go my way, it can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind but somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man, gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
[Guitar solo]
Alright, now
Oooh
Saturday night
Here we go
Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doin' alright
It may not be tomorrow, baby, that's ok
I ain't goin' down, I'm gonna find a way, hey hey hey
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day a night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man, I'm gonna live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Oh-oh, I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Oh-oh oh
Saturday Night, yeah
Alright, alright
Saturday Night, yeah
[Fades out]
