The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Wake Me Up before You Go-Go" by the artist "Wham!"

Contents

In Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," the lyrical protagonist brims with energy and a desire to dance with his girlfriend. "Jitterbug" isn't just a reference to the popular dance, but a metaphor for his excited, impatient state. He's "burning" with desire to be with his lover, to share joy and fun with her.

However, there's a shadow of doubt within the lyrics. The protagonist learned from a friend that his girlfriend was out having fun without him the previous night, and now jealousy gnaws at him. He doesn't want to be deceived and asks her to wake him up before every dance outing, to be sure of her fidelity and to share in the pleasure with her.

Despite the anxiety, the song is filled with optimism and faith in a brighter future. The protagonist is confident that they can overcome difficulties and continue dancing together.

Jitterbug [4x]

You put the boom-boom into my heart (do do)

You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts

Jitterbug into my brain (yeah yeah)

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, but I should have been with you instead.

Wake me up before you go-go

Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo

Wake me up before you go-go

I don't want to miss it when you hit that high

Wake me up before you go-go

'Cause I'm not planning on going solo

Wake me up before you go-go (ah)

Take me dancing tonight

I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way (do do)

You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day

Turned a bright spark into a flame (yeah yeah)

My beats per minute never been the same

'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool

It makes me crazy when you act so cruel

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

I don't want to miss it when you hit that high

Wake me up before you go-go

'Cause I'm not planning on going solo

Wake me up before you go-go (ah)

Take me dancing tonight

I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, yeah, baby)

Jitterbug [2x]

Cuddle up, baby, move in tight

We'll go dancing tomorrow night

It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed

They can dance, we'll stay home instead (yeah, yeah)

Jitterbug

Wake me up before you go-go

Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo

Wake me up before you go-go

I 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 (ah)

Take me dancing tonight

Wake me up before you go-go

Don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a yo-yo

Take me dancing

(Boom-boom-boom-boom)
