Couple Days Off - Huey Lewis & The News

I like my job and I don’t mind the work

But eleven out of twelve is bound to hurt

The pay’s pretty good and the benefits are fine

But I got a little girl and I wanna make her mine

Don’t mind telling you i get a little mad

To get a bit ahead takes all the time I have

Don’t misunderstand me

I’m not getting soft

All i want is a couple days off

Can’t wait for the weekend

Ah baby just can’t wait no

I dont need another high song to sing

I dont need a shiny new diamond ring

I don’t need to meet nobody else

I just need a little time for myself

'cause i’m only human, i’m no machine

I need a little loving only you know what I mean

Don’t misunderstand me

I’m not getting soft

All i want is a couple days off

Let me catch my breath

Thank god for the weekend

Back to the old grind

I don’t need another long coffee break

I’ve had as much coffee as a man can take

I need to change my disposition

Change my point of view

I need time to figure out what i want to do

Believe me when i tell you it gets a little rough

We work a little harder but it never is enough

I’m not afraid to say

I’m a total loss

All i want is a couple days off

Can’t wait for the weekend
