Weekday mornings
Coffee smell in the air
After you’ve gone and the children have left for school
I’m alone and I think about all the plans we made
I think about all the dreams I had
And I wonder if I’m a fool

Weekday midday
I’ve got the marketing done
Plenty to do but nothing to tax my mind
That’s allright – it’s a habit
Heaven knows I can always watch the daytime shows
And I wonder which story’s mine

She loved a man she knew little about
After so many years of trying
So many years of doing without
Oh, but what’s the use of crying

Weekday evenings
We sit and I realize
You’ve dreamed, too, and I kind of understand
I’ve been with you and you need me to take care of you
But we’ll work it out so I’m a person, too
And we’ll help each other out the best that we can
‘Cause I’m your woman and you’re my man

You can understand the lyrics to Weekdays if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Weekdays" means the words set to the music of Weekdays, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Carole King. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.

None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Carole King who came here looking just for the lyrics to Weekdays, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
