英国乐坛小天皇克雷格-戴维（Craig David）被誉为“本世纪首位英国乐坛巨星”，对他的评价是“稳重而不沧桑”“流畅而不造作”“甜而不腻”。其2000年推出的专辑《天生好手》（Born To Do It）已问鼎全球7个国家的冠军宝座。《7天》即选自它，是首旋律很轻快的R&B风格歌曲，随意地哼唱出一段维持了7天的恋情，都是大白话：开始于星期一凌晨三点的一见钟情，星期二请喝茶，星期三已是缱绻鸳鸯……
7 Days Craig David
On my way to see my friends who lived a couple of blocks away from me
As I walked through the subway it must have been about quarter past three
In front of me stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time. I said it'd cost her her name
A six digit number and a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? No. Didn't she mind? I don't think so
Was it for real? Damn sure. What was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? She couldn't wait. Cinnamon queen? let me update
What did she say? She said she'd love to
Rendezvous she asked me what we were gonna do
I said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two
(Chorus)
Monday. I took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday. I met this girl on Monday
I took her for a drink on Tuesday. We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday. We chilled on Sunday
Nine was the time 'cause I'll be getting mine and she was looking fine
Smooth talker. She told me she'd love to unfold me all night long
Ooh I loved the way she kicked it from the front to back she flipped
And I hope that she'd care 'cause I'm a man who'll always be there
I'm not a man to play around baby. 'Cause a one night stand isn't really fair
From the first impression girl hmm you don't seem to be like that
'Cause there's no need to chat for there'll be plenty time for that
From the subway to my home endless ringing of my phone
When you feeling all alone, all you gotta do is just call me, call me
(Chorus)
Since I met this special lady, ooh yeah, I can't get her off my mind
She's one of a kind and I ain't about to deny it
It's a special kind of thing with you oh...
