Craig David - 7 days

On my way to see my friends who lived a couple blocks away from me (oh)
As I walked through the subway
It must have been about quarter past three
In front of me, stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it'd cost her name, a six digit number and a date with me tomorrow at nine

Did she decline? No
Didn't she mind? I don't think so
Was it for real? Damn, sure
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged twenty-four
So was she keen? She couldn't wait
Cinnamon queen? Let me update
What did she say? She said she'd love to rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
Said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two

Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday

Nine was the time
'Cause I'll be getting mine and she was looking fine
Smooth talker, she told me
She'd love to unfold me all night long
Ooh, I loved the way she kicked it
From the front to back she flipped it (back she flipped it, ooh the way she kicked)
And I oh, oh, I, yeah
Hope that she'd care
'Cause I'm a man who'll always be there (oh yeah)

I'm not a man to play around, baby (oh yeah)
'Cause a one night stand isn't really fair
From the first impression, girl, hmm you don't seem to be like that
'Cause there's no need to chat for there'll be plenty time for that
From the subway to my home
Endless ringing of my phone
When your feeling all alone
All you gotta do is just call me, call me

Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday

Since I met this special lady, ooh yeah
I can't get her off my mind
She's one of a kind
And I ain't about to deny it
It's a special kind of thing with you

Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday

코로나가 다시 심각해지고 있다

사회적 거리를 둬야 하는 건 알고 있지만

여자 친구와 거리가 생기는 것 같아서 오랜만에 외출을 강행했다

저녁을 먹고 커피를 한잔 마시는데 커피숍에서 이 노래가 흘러나왔다

제목이 기억 날듯 말 듯 하지만 뮤직비디오는 계속 떠올랐고

음악을 듣던 그 시절의 나의 모습이 상기되었다

밤늦게까지 치킨집에서 아르바이트를 하고 퇴근하던 길에 라디오에서 나오던 음악

퇴근하고 집에 와서 맥주 한잔 하며 듣던 노래

항상 지쳐있고 우울해하며 술과 담배로 위로받던 20대 중반의 나

남들과 비교하며 힘들어했고 결국 대학을 자퇴한 나

그랬던 내가 어느새 대학을 졸업하고 사회인이 될 준비를 하고 있다
