## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Brandon]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh

Yeah, ooh

[Verse 1: Edwin]

Champagne for the foreplay

Chase down with the rosé

Don't mind what your friends say

Bottles all night for your birthday

Might've seen you on my timeline

Or somewhere on the sidelines

But now you're right here by my side, baby (She)

[Pre-Chorus: Nick Mara, *Edwin*]

Don't be alarmed if I'm gone when you wake up (*No, no*)

I put my name in your phone under favorites, yeah (Oh)

Roses, I want by a dozen, but I'll leave you one if you want it

Long as you promise me you ain't gon' say nothin'

[Chorus: Brandon, *Edwin*, **PrettyMuch**]

Right by your side (*Right by your side*)

Baby, I ain't gonna leave you alone tonight (*Leave you 'lone*)

Wanna love you 'til we see the morning light

And if we fall in love, girl, it's alright (It's alright)

**'Cause it's only for the weekend** (**Oh**)

[Verse 2: Luísa]

And I know you love the first date

What's love in the first place? (Ooh)

My place or your place?

Fridays, we can rotate

I ain't gonna put you on my timeline

I'ma wait until the time's right (Ooh)

Long as you're here by my side, baby

[Pre-Chorus: Nick + Luísa, *Edwin*]

Don't be alarmed if I'm gone when you wake up (*Don't be alarmed*)

I put my name in your phone under favorites, yeah

Roses, I want by a dozen, but I'll leave you one if you want it

Long as you promise me you ain't gon' say nothin'

[Chorus: Brandon + Luísa, *Edwin* & **PrettyMuch**]

Right by your side (*No*)

Baby, I ain't gonna leave you alone tonight (**Tonight**)

Gonna love you 'til we see the morning light (**Light**)

And if we fall in love, girl, it's alright

**'Cause it's only for the weekend**

[Post-Chorus: Nick, *PrettyMuch*]

Only for the weekend

*'Cause it's only for the weekend'*

[Bridge: Luísa, *with* *Brandon*, **Edwin**]

*All we got is this moment, now or never*

So baby, don't think twice (**No**)

Ain't no need to focus on forever

But we'll love here for tonight

[Post-Bridge: Brandon, *Edwin*, **Both**, ***PrettyMuch***]

Right by your side

Baby, I ain't gonna leave you alone tonight

Wanna love you '**til we see the morning light** (*Light*)

And if we fall in love, girl, it's alright (*It's alright*)

***'Cause it's only for the weekend***

[Chorus: Brandon + Luísa, *Edwin*, PrettyMuch, ***Nick***]

Right by your side (*Right by your side*)

Baby, I ain't gonna leave you alone tonight (**Tonight**)

Gonna love you 'til we see the morning light (**Light**)

And if we fall in love, girl, it's alright (***It's alright***)

**'Cause it's only for the weekend** (**'Cause it's only for the weekend**)

[Outro: PrettyMuch & Nick]

'Cause it's only for the weekend

*Only for the weekend*

'Cause it's only for the weekend
