Who wrote the Bangles' song "Manic Monday"?

Waking up on Monday morning and immediately wishing you could go back to bed is a universal feeling. The Bangles captured it perfectly with their 1986 hit "Manic Monday," but the band didn't write the song, and it wasn't even originally written for them. Who was the songwriter that rhymed "I-don't-have-to-run day" with Sunday and Monday?
