Notes
Robert Hazard never recorded the song himself but anyway, he performed a live recording of this song. In fact, Cyndi did change his song to girls having fun in general instead of having fun only with sex. It has been heard that Robert Hazard didn't like her version when it first came out (thanks to Mr Dean for this information).
A new version of the song exists under the name Hey Now.
The Japanese title of this song was "High School is Danceteia".
Lyrics
I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have--
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls-- they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls--they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
