Robert Smith thinks it's just a "dumb" (tonto, estúpido) pop
tune, but 30 years on, Friday remains the group's most enduring single.
Friday I'm In Love is a dumb pop song, but it's quite excellent actually,
just because it's so absurd. It's so out of character - very optimistic and
really out there in happy land. People think we're supposed to be leaders of
some sort of 'gloom (melancolia) movement'. I could sit and write gloomy songs
all day long, but I just don't see the point.

LYRICS
FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE
by The Cure
I don't care if Monday's blue,
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too.
Thursday, I don't care about you.
It's Friday, I'm in love.
Monday, you can fall apart.
Tuesday, Wednesday,
Break my heart.
Thursday doesn't even start.
It's Friday, I'm in love.
Saturday, wait,
And Sunday always
Comes too late,
But Friday never hesitate...
I don't care if Monday's black,
Tuesday, Wednesday,
Heart attack.
Thursday, never looking back.
It's Friday, I'm in love.
Monday, you can hold your head.
Tuesday, Wednesday,
Stay in bed.
Or Thursday, watch the walls instead.
It's Friday, I'm in love.
Saturday, wait,
And Sunday always
Comes too late,
But Friday, never hesitate...
Dressed up to the eyes,
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise,
Throwing out your frown,
And just smiling at the sound,
And as sleek as a shriek,
Spinning round and round.
Always take a big bite,
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night.
You can never get enough,
Enough of this stuff.
It's Friday,
I'm in love.
