Sunday Girl [Radio Mix] Lyrics
Blinded by the vision
I turn and face my back to the wall
'Cause I'm locked up in a rhythm
The prism of a big glitter ball
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I've been making eyes at somebody else
You're no longer number one
[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
She loves the night
And all that glitters
Her name in lights
Around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl
[Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
You're rushing down
Like a rollercoaster
Night on the town
Gonna make the most of
We can dance 'til Sunday morning girl
[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
You're pushing and a-shoving me baby
Like a bitch to the wall
But you're driving me crazy
Right up to fever pitch I could fall
When you shine down your love light
I'm getting blinded by the sights and sounds
[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
She loves the night
And all that glitters
Her name in lights
Around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl
[Bridge: Andy Bell]
I will see you
I will get you
I will see you
I will get you
I will see you
I will get you
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I've been making eyes at somebody baby
You're no longer number one
[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
She loves the night
And all that glitters
Her name in lights
Around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl
You're rushing down
Like a rollercoaster
Night on the town
Gonna make the most of
We can dance 'til Sunday morning
We can dance 'til Sunday morning
We can dance 'til Sunday morning girl
[Outro: Andy Bell]

About
Sunday Girl is a song recorded by the British synthpop duo Erasure. Written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, it is the opening track on the duo’s thirteenth studio album Light at the End of the World. The song was the second UK single released from the album, on 11 June 2007. A North American release followed in July 2007.
Sunday Girl is a very uptempo electronic music song which tells the story of someone who has immersed herself in nightlife and while in a nightclub catches the attention of Bell, who offers to dance with her “‘til Sunday morning” but warns “don’t you mess your life up, Sunday Girl”. The introduction is very similar to the bridge of the duo’s 1995 single Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer’s Day).
The single became Erasure’s thirty-fourth Top 40 single in the UK, but has the distinction of being their lowest charting (and the first to miss the Top 30) since Oh L'Amour, twenty-one years earlier.
