Oldies - the words to a song


Expert: John Congemi - 11/1/2009

Question
the words to two songs thank God its Friday and I want you

Answer
Hi, Gwen.  There are multiple songs for both titles.  For Thank God It's Friday, I chose the Love & Kisses version below, just a guess.  There is also song by R Kelly and a song titled Low Income by Wyclef Jean in which TGIF is featured in the lyrics. These songs are newer than my 50s knowledge, but if you try again with more info I'll try to do the research for you.  Regarding I Want You, there are too many songs for me to guess.  There are recordings by Kings of Leon, Third Eye Blind, Kelly Clarkson, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Common, Savage Garden, Fefe Dobson, Elvis Costello, and possibly others.  Again, most of these are not on my iPod, but if you could clarify your question, I would try.  Following is the TGIF by L&K.

Regards, John

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY
Love & Kisses

Friday, thank God it's Friday, Friday
Thank God it's Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday

Hey put a smile on your face
Things are coming your way out there
Somewhere tonight it is the right time and place

I saw you baby for the very first time
Couldn't take my eyes off you girl
You just had to be mine
You're the kind that people long for
It just had to be you girl
I know this time I'll make all my dreams come ture

Hey see the stars in his eyes
And the music in you tells you how
You can find your way to paradise

Hey put a smile on your face
Things are coming your way out there
Somewhere tonight it is the right time and place
Hey see the stars in his eyes
Does he value my love
