You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming should have been with you instead
[Spoken - You know the words]
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high
You take the gray skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cause you're my lady and I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act cool
Come on baby let's not fight
We'll go dancing everything will be all right
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah ooh
Cuddle up baby move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold outside but it's warm in bed
They can dance [Spoken - Actually John you better belly-dance]
We'll stay home instead
[Spoken - And you know the rest OK]
