  General Comment:I have always thought the song was about working for a date or romance and not about a job so much.

  General Comment:I believe it's about working FOR the weekend...when most dates occur. Each time I meet a guy and find him interesting, I check him out to see if he could be someone who would make a great life partner...fun, exciting, daring, not a fan of the tv or sports on tv, someone who loves to dance, party, laugh (a lot), who's an intellectual, and who is very bright. I've been meeting them and laughing with them. So this song, to me, is about working hard through the week so one can enjoy the weekend. We all need some down time. And we each are looking for that right person. I pray I find him. I just haven't met him yet, as the song goes.

  Song Meaning:This song is about people working during the weekend.A person could say something like "I'm boating for the weekend" which would mean that they are spending their weekend boating.Saying "I'm working for the weekend" would be along the same lines meaning that the person is going to be working all weekend.The fact that the person in the song is working during the weekend is why everyone wonders if that person will come out tonight or if they will just keep working.Romance is desired for the person since they are stuck at the office all weekend working and this over working explains why the person is going off the deep end.The second chance needed would be another chance for the person at life in order to acquire a job that would not require them to work during weekends.So in conclusion,this song is about people who have jobs which require them to miss their social life since they work during weekends and these people's desire to start over with a new career in a better life.

  General Comment:This song is about a coke dealer.
  
  Loverboy were a HUGE coke band. Most of the 80s bands were because that was what was going on in the 80s music industry and all the "cool" scenes.
  
  Just check out their lyrics to their song "Jump," the title itself being a coke reference:
  
  Was it your idea to meet me like this
  Sneakin’ round with the lights down low?
  It feels so good
  I hope it doesn’t fade away
  
  But if they catch us here together this way
  You know we better think quick
  Cuz you bet you’re last buck
  They’ll be first to get the last lick
  
  When I say Jump
  You better jump
  When I say walk
  You better get ready to say good bye
  
  Now you can’t always get what you want when you want it
  So you settle for second best
  You need it so bad
  Don’t matter what price you pay
  
  When you lay it on the line takin’ chances like this
  One slip could do the trick
  Cuz you bet you’re last buck
  They’ll be first to get the last lick
  
  When I say Jump
  You better jump
  When I say walk
  You better get ready to say good bye
  
  And when I look at you now
  Somehow it don’t seem right
  But it feels so good tonight

    Also, people may not understand how gigantic these guys were up until about 1987 or so. MASSIVELY HUGE.
    
    Then all of a sudden you never heard from them ever again, like someone flipped a switch.
    
    All of a sudden red latex pants weren't cool anymore.

    Yeah I agree totally about a Hot chick or person that everyone wants and observes all the time...Except this person is very independent and does whatever the fuck they want and never listens to other ppl so they're all wondering wheter he (most likely SHE) will finally be wherever everyone else is

  General Comment:I think this song is just about looking forward to having an awesome weekend. How each weekend is a new chance for romance and fun.

  General Comment:it always came to me as a story of all these people going out to party on the weekend, hence "everybody's workin' for the weekend" and they get in some fight or someone gets killed or something.
  
  Everyone's looking to see if it was you
  Everyone wants you to come through
  Everyone's hoping it'll all work out
  Everyone's waiting they're holding out
  
  or maybe somebody got arrested? i 'unno

  General Comment:This is so catchy; who the fuck cannot like this song? I always think of Zoolander when I hear this song. Anyways, the drug reference is a good theory.
