Wake Up Lyrics
There's people talking
They talk about me
They know my name
They think they know everything
But they don't know anything
About me
Give me a dance floor
Give me a dj
Play me a record
Forget what they say
Cause I need to go
Need to getaway tonight
I put my makeup on a saturday night
I try and make it happen
Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
It's never really easy but it's ok
Wake Up Wake Up
On a saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere I go
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah, tonight
The cities restless
It's all around me
People in motion
Sick of all the same routines
And they need to go
They need to get away
Tonight
I put my makeup on a saturday night
I try and make it happen
Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
It's never really easy but it's ok
Wake Up Wake Up
On a saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere I go
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah, tonight
People all around you
Everywhere that you go
People all around you
They don't really know you
Everybody watching like it's some kind of show
Everybody's watching
They don't really know you now
(They don't really know you)
(They don't really know you)
And forever
Wake up wake up (wake up)
Wake up wake up (wake up)
Wake Up Wake Up
On a saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere I go
Wake Up Wake Up
On a saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere
I go
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah, tonight
They talk about me
They know my name
They think they know everything
But they don't know anything
About me
Give me a dj
Play me a record
Forget what they say
Cause I need to go
Need to getaway tonight
I try and make it happen
Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
It's never really easy but it's ok
On a saturday night

for those of you that say all music today is dying and has no depth or passion or whatever, HOW BOUT U WRITE AND SING SOMETHING BETTER INSTEAD OF COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!!!!!!
I think that this song is about being a pop star or just being famous in general. I think this is one of Hilary Duff's best songs.
This song is just Hilary's version of Lindsay Lohan's "Rumors" song.
For example: There's people talking They talk about me They know my name They think they know everything But they don't know anything About me
When will celebrities STOP whinning about their lives?
Oh yes, being rich and famous is SO terrible.
Do they even realize how many people would DIE to have what they've got?
Yhea... I'm sick of all these "oh, my life is soo terrible because no one really knows me, and yet they think they do because i'm famous.... blah blah blah" crap!
Hilary Duff WOULDN'T even have a record deal if she wasn't on Lizzie McGuire and already pretty famous before because of that. You know why? Because SHE DOESN'T FREAKING SING. That's right all you nine-year old Hilary/Lizzie worshipers: SHE'S A LIP-SYNCING FAKE!
Fallen, I was thinking the exact same thing. If celebrities didn't want to be famous, they shouldn't have taken up acting/'singing'. Being rich and famous doesn't suck, and if she thinks it does, she's an idiot.
Exactly! I think they just want to sound like they dont enjoy all the papparatzie and attention. I mean..if they dont wear any makeup and have a hat with sunglasses on...no one will notice them! They stive for attention, yet their all 'Omg it's sooo hard being in the public eye, I wish they'd just leave me alone!!'
But as for this song...I like it's tune...but Hilarys voice when she sings "hollywood" is really bad. It gets on my nerves
strive** Typo =P
I think Hilary is like the most annoying singer out there today. She is so frikin stupid! And if anyone should sing, they should sing their own lyrics and with their own voice. That's what I really hate about her.
One, Hilary Duff does sing and she does not lip sync. Two, money and recognition does not bring you happiness. You can't say that being rich and famous doesn't suck because you've never gotten out of your small town. Don't knock on something you know nothing about. And tally head, she does co-write her albums. Just thought I'd let you know that.
Anyway, I think that this song is just how she wants to step away from being famous and just hang out with her friends but she can't because there's always someone following her because of her status.
hilary duff wow not a person.... i dislike her she has no idea how its like i used to like her but the songs i hate of her are : Fly,Come clean first of all the song is called 'come clean' she sang 'im coming clean' and i have no idea whats about and fly what is she taking about fly nobody can fly only birds and wake up whats wrong famous is not so bad and why would any one care if you put make-up on people stare because they want to GOD!!!!!!!!! hilary is an idiot why cant she disapear ! who can joel live like that hilary wants to be punk to!...
One, Hilary Duff is extremely gay and she has the worst synthesised voice in 'someones watching over me.' it sounds as if someone left her stuck in a tinny house for days on end so she just wailed tunelessly for a while. Two, yeah sure money cant buy happiness, change the record man. If she hates fame and money so much and feels so misunderstood she should give all her money to charity and go live in a hoie or something. Just thought i'd let you know that i think hilary duff is arse.
