Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go Lyrics

(You do the jitterbug, you do the jitterbug, you do the jitterbug) Oh!
You put the boom-boom into my heart, you send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts!
Jitterbug into my brain (yeah-yeah), it goes a-bang-bang-bang till my feet do the same
But somethin's buggin' me, somethin' ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Got me sleepin' in my bed, I was dreamin', but I should've stayed with you instead

Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hangin' on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go, I don't wanna 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 dancin' tonight
I wanna hit that high!

You send the grey skies outta my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day!
Turned the bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same!
Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
Makes me crazy when you act so cool
C'mon baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancin', everything will be alright!

Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hangin' on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go, I don't wanna 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 dancin' tonight
Come on baby, move in time
We'll go dancin' tomorrow night
It's cold out there but it's warm in there
If they can dance, we'll stay home instead. (You do the jitterbug)

Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hangin' on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go, I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go, don't you dare to leave me hangin' on like a yo-yo-yo-yo-yo
Take me dancin' (boom-boom-boom-boom)
Before you go-go, take me dancin' tonight

Take me dancin'

Tonight!
