  • Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
    I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night

    Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong?
    My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
    Just can't hold a job, where do I belong?
    Been sleeping in my car, my dreams move on

    My name is Billy Jean, my love is bought and sold
    I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
    My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
    The street life ain't much better, but at least I'm getting paid

    And Tuesday just might go my way
    It can't get worse than yesterday
    Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
    But somehow I'll survive

    Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
    Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, gotta live my life
    Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
    I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

    Now I can't say my name or tell you where I am
    I want to roll myself away, don't know if I can
    I wish that I could be in some other time and place
    With someone else's soul, someone else's face

    Oh, Tuesday just might go my way
    It can't get worse than yesterday
    Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
    But somehow I'll survive

    Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
    Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, gotta live my life
    Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
    I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

    Saturday night
    Here we go

    Some day I'll be Saturday night
    I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doin' all right
    It may not be tomorrow, baby, that's OK
    I ain't goin' down, I'm gonna find a way, hey, hey

    Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
    Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I'm gonna live my life
    Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
    I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night, oh

    I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
    Oh, oh, oh
    Saturday night, yeah
    All right, all right
    Saturday night, yeah Writer/s: Desmond Child, Jon Bon Jovi, Richard Sambora

  • Adam from York, PaI'm 15, and I bought my first album when I was 14, the CrossRoads album is that album. Thank God for Bon Jovi, one of the last great Rock n' Roll bands of all time. If anybody wants to know the rest of the songs they are,
    Blaze of Glory
    Keep the Faith
    Dead or Alive
    Prayer 94
    Livin on a Prayer
    Always
    I'll be there for you
    You give love a bad name
    Runaway
    Lay your hands on me
    Bed of Roses
    In and Out of Love
    Bad Medicine

    This is the US version, on other versions prayer 94 was replaced by Tokyo Road or In these Arms, and The song never say good bye was present
  • Jenni Pridham from Meadow Heights,This sound deals with depression and dreams, the ups and down of life and the innocence of youth or childhood being taken away. So beautiful and uplifting - Some Day I'll be Saturday Night!!!
  • Ray from Lodi, NjI've been a bon jovi fan since I was 10 (I am not telling you how long that's been but let's just say it's a long time) and this is one of my favorite songs from them. This and "Sleep when I'm dead."
