Monday Morning Blues Lyrics

Monday morning, clock's ringin' like a bell

Got my suit and tie ready, can't be late, can't you tell?

Smell of coffee, eggs fryin', yeah, my baby knows me well

She got breakfast laid out, like she's castin' her spell

But it's Monday morning blues, just like every other day

I'm headin' to the office, yeah, gotta earn my pay

But something's feelin' strange, somethin's outta place

Just a Monday morning, but there's secrets in the space

Halfway down the freeway, I slap my forehead hard

Realized I left somethin', sittin' in the yard

So I turn that wheel, headin' back real slow

See a car in my drive, and I think, "Who'd she know?"

Monday morning blues, with flowers on the floor

Trailing up the stairs, leadin' to our door

Every step I take, got my heart in my hand

It's a Monday morning mystery, I don't understand

She's layin' there waiting, in satin and lace

Says, "Baby, it's for you," with a straight face

She's sayin' all the right things, she's got her story tight

But I see shadows movin' in the dim morning light

We lie there for a minute, my mind playin' tricks

But then I hear footsteps, a shuffle, a fix

She says it's the plumber, but I know it ain't right

So I get up slow, and head to the light

Monday morning blues, secrets start to unfold

And there's my boss, hidin' there, lookin' bold

I just shake my head, as he stumbles away

Wonderin' why he's always late on Monday

So I straighten my tie, say goodbye to the scene

I got bills to pay, I got places to be

It's Monday morning, just another game

But every Monday now, it won't be the same
