Lyrics: Donna Devine
Wednesday's Child
(v1)
She has Monday's face
And Tuesday's grace
And like Thursday's
She still has far to go
But right now she's thinking
It's all such a waste
'Cause like Wednesday's Child
She's full of woe
Chorus
The days of the week
Mean little to her now
Since that lover
Left her high and dry
She tosses and turns
While the memory burns
Of the easy way
He told her goodbye
(v2)
She has Friday's flair
And Saturday's care
And like Sunday's
She has a gentle soul
But right now she's thinking
Life's too hard to bear
'Cause like Wednesday's Child
She's full of woe
Chorus
The days of the week
Mean little to her now
Since that lover
Left her high and dry
She tosses and turns
While the memory burns
Of the easy way
He told her goodbye
Bridge
What good is Monday's face
Or Tuesday's grace
If she can't recall the last time she smiled
Thursday and Friday, the weekend too
Don't do anything but make her blue
'Cause she's feelin', oh whoa, she's feelin'
Feelin'like Wednesday's child
Chorus
The days of the week
Mean little to her now
Since that lover
Left her high and dry
She tosses and turns
While the memory burns
Of the easy way
He told her goodbye
Outro
Mmmm hmmmmm She's hurtin'
Oh yeah, today she's hurtin'
Hurtin' just like Wednesday's Child
