Lyric

Let’s sing along with the lyrics!

I love the sound of a jukebox playingSo I sit here while she’s staying homeWatching Dallas on TV (thank you)And I love the taste of whiskey straightBut the strongest thing she ever takes is a sipFrom a small glass of Chablis
Though birds of a different featherOur love keeps us togetherAnd she knows what’s wrong with me tonight
I’ve got that Friday night feverSometimes a man just needs a breatherShe knows I love her and I need herAnd I’m no cheaterI’ve just got that Friday night fever
She wouldn’t change me if she couldI wouldn’t change her, she’s too goodSometimes a man just needs a change of paceAnd I’ve heard all those come-on linesBut I go home at closing timeI know, no one could ever take her place
Now she’s taking down her hairShe knows I’ll soon be thereTo give her the love she needs tonight
I’ve got that Friday night feverSometimes a man just needs a breatherShe knows I love her and I need herAnd I’m no cheaterI’ve just got that Friday night fever
I got that Friday night feverSometimes a man just needs a breatherShe knows I love her and I need herAnd I’m no cheaterI’ve just got that Friday night fever
I’ve just got that Friday night fever
Well, thank you very much!Thank you, I appreciate itWe’ll do all, we did all for y’all, you knowWe’ll do it for you again, you know
