Emma Hunton, Heidi Blickenstaff - Just One Day lyrics
[Emma Hunton, Heidi Blickenstaff - Just One Day lyrics]
Just a day without her nagging just one day
I beg, I plead
But the drag just keeps on dragging
While I wish for just one Monday
Or a Friday to be free
Free to slouch and sulk and mumble
And be messy and be me
All I ask is for twelve hours
To live my life my way
Just one simple, awesome, crazy kick-ass day
One more day she's on my back
She's been riding me forever
On all my faults and all I lack
And all I oh, whatever
'Cause, I'm lazy and I'm av'rage
And I'm sloppy for a start
And I know she'd like a daughter
Who was pretty, thin, and smart
And I know she's freakin' perfect
But, I'll never be that way
Not for a single, solitary day
Tomorrow is the wedding
And tonight is the rehearsal
And there is no room for error
I mean not one flaw
We've got guests in just ten hours
Dress the tables, trim the flowers
I want beauty and perfection
I want total awe
And with Weddings Magazine here
For a feature on the scene here
The business is depending
On this one success
Now breathe, but thank you, Torrey
And in fact, that is the story
So get moving, move this produce
And remove this mess!
Just one day is all I want
With my family united
Fears at bay, no fights, no taunts
Just the four of us delighted
I mean, look, I love my kids
I love my work, I love my life
And I love my fiancé
And in a day, I'll be his wife
And I'll throw the perfect wedding
And I'll throw the bride's bouquet
And we'll have one happy, loving fam'ly day
Mother! Fletcher is puppeting me again!
One more day she'll fight and fuss
When her joy is all I'm after
It's been a long, tough time for us
Now it's time to hear some laughter
'Cause, I only want her happy
And well, punctual -and clean
But she mumbles and she grumbles
And at time she's outright mean
She's bright and so insightful
But those trait's aren't on display
Well, not lately-often-ever not today
Ok, really fast, tonight is The Hunt it's an
Epic scavenger hunt and
I really wanna win there's just one issue
Just one day that's all I seek
And I have been asking nicely just one day
It's not a week
It's a night to speak precisely
And The Hunt is not a stunt
It's my one shot at fame
To be someone who is something
Not just "what's her name"
If I'm in it, I can win it
If she'd only say okay
We'd be off and running, gunning
For one fun and perfect day!
Mom mom
Mom!
Ellie dear, it's not the time
No, that apron is a crime
And that sea bass isn't fresh
It's three days dead
Mom, I really need to know if I can-
Wait, now where'd she go?
God, I'll never draw her focus
From the bread
It's a million little things Mom
It's just a little thing
From the Riesling to the rings Just
A silly Rite of Spring but, I got this
'cause I live And I wouldn't even ask you
To work this way
But, um, well what a day! Now don't yell
What a day! Simply say okay what a day!
Yay! Okay? Yay! Okay?
Yay! Okay?
God, the soufflé! (What a day) Okay?
Kath'rine, oh one other thing Mom
See, the jeweler sized the ring Mom
It's a little large Mom
But really who can tell Hey, Mom, Hey
It's okay, it's okay Mom, hey hey hey hey
It's okay, it's okay hey, hey hey Mom, hey
Just one day
That's all we get Just one day to
Show my skills
'Til the vows
The hunt
The story
Just one day sunrise, sunset To get press
Then the night in That gets the jobs
All it's glory That pays the bills
Just say the word
We'll be on our way To show what I can do
We're on our way And say what I can say
In just one day
For one
Stressful perfect
Busy winning
Anxious stellar
High stakes kickass
Do or die
Crazy day!
