7 Days

當初來美國時順便帶了些歌曲過來聽，這是其中一首，一直不曉得這歌是誰唱的或是叫甚麼名字，這種知道歌的旋律但不知道曲名的困擾一直到現在都還常遇到。前陣子看到有個手機廣告就是主打這個，用手機把歌曲錄起來就可以幫你鑑定出是哪條歌，還可以讓你付費下載。科科，喔不，是科技始終來自於人性啊。

Craig David 的 7 Days，整首歌的歌詞落落長，手上也沒歌詞又不曉得歌名叫做甚麼，只能努力地聽聽看到底在唱些甚麼，可能跟很多人一樣，最後聽得最清楚的就是 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 這些禮拜幾做了哪些事的段落，其中又以禮拜三最淺顯易懂，絕對不會聽錯。

MV 的情節很像 Bill Murray 演的那部 Groundhogs Day，中文翻作「今天暫時停止」。就是你沒法進入下一天，得一直重覆過同一天，直到你把事情做對為止。



7 Days - Craig David

On my way to see my friends \ Who lived a couple blocks away from me (owh) \ 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 her name \ A six digit number & 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 24 \ 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 & Friday & 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 & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Nine was the time \ Cos 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 (back she flipped it, ooh the Way she Kicked it) \ And I oh oh I yeah \ Hope that she’d care \ Cos I’m a man who’ll always be there

Ooh yeah \ I’m not a man to play around baby \ Ooh yeah \ Cos a one night stand isn’t really fair \ From the first impression girl hmm you don’t seem to be like that \ Cos there’s no need to chat for there’ll be plenty for that \ From the subway to my home
Endless ringing of my phone \ When you 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 & Friday & 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 & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Bridge (break it down, uh break it down) \ Since I met this special lady \ Ooh yeah \ I can’t get her of my mind \ She’s one of a kind \ And I ain’t about to deny it \ It’s a special kind thing \ With you-oh.......

Monday \ Took her for a drink on Tuesday \ We were making love by Wednesday \ And on Thursday & Friday & 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 & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
