If, all I could say is if
Promise me you won't regret me like the tattoos on my skin
I belong to you
Promise me when they all love you that you'll remember me
When you fuck them, you'll see my face
My body is yours
Every Thursday
[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
It seems like pain and regret are your best friends (Ooh, oh yeah)
'Cause everything you do leads to them, right? Right, right
Yeah, but baby, I could be your best friend, ooh
And baby, I could fuck you right (Ooh, woah)
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star, oh yeah
Baby, you could have it all
Baby, you could have it all
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star
[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
Woah
Blaming all your sins on your best friends, ohh, oh yeah
And nothing's never ever your own fault
And nothing's your fault baby, no
Well, baby, you don't need your best friends (Woah)
Yeah, 'cause I got everything you want (Woo, ehh yeah)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh baby)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star, baby, you could be a star
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star (Oh yeah)
[Interlude: Valerie]
If all I could say is if
Promise me you won't regret me like the tattoos on my skin
I belong to you
Promise me when they all love you that you'll remember me
When you fuck them, you'll see my face
My body is yours
Give them any other day but Thursday
Belongs to me
Every Thursday
I'll wait for you
I'll be beautiful for you
Every Thursday
I exist
Only on Thursday
About
The opening track on The Weeknd’s Thursday introduces the two main characters of the story: The Weeknd and the “Thursday Girl,” or Abel’s “Lonely Star.”
The “Lonely Star” is a girl Abel only sees on Thursday. While she’ll be his “star” he describes in verse one that pain and regret are “Thursday girl’s,” best friends he goes on to describe that although they are her best friends he could be her best friend. Even though she can be his star, she will still be lonely, because even though Abel is with her physically, he won’t be there to actually love her.
In the hook he explains that life could be luxurious and special if she is with Abel. Although in the the Interlude “Thursday girl,” describes that if all Abel can promise her is no regret then she will continue to only be present on Thursday and that is the only time she will be available to Abel.
