Waking Up in Vegas Lyrics

You gotta help me out
It's all a blur last night
We need a taxi 'cause you're hungover and I'm broke
I lost my fake I'd but you lost the motel key
Spare me your freakin' dirty looks
Now don't play me
You want to cash out and get the hell out of town

Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

Why are these lights so bright
DId we get hitched last night?
Dressed up like Elvis
And why am I wearing your class ring?
Don't call your mother
'Cause now we're partners in crime

Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

You got me into this
Information overload, situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.
And get some cash out
We're gonna tear up the town

Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
Told me, you told me, you told me

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

Shake the glitter, shake, shake, shake the glitter,
c'mon!
Get me some cash out baby
Get me some cash out baby

Cover art for Waking Up in Vegas lyrics by Katy Perry

i think its about a high school couple who goes to vegas without their parents permission and get into trouble.. hah. i love this song though. veryy catchy. ive been singing it all day.

"I lost my fake I'd but you lost the motel key" this line makes me think theyre young; cuz katy doesnt need a fake id now.

"And why am I wearing your class ring? Don't call your mother" also class ring - high school and mother; well how many grown men would honestly call their mother when their hungover drunk in vegas? just my opinion

@darcerose Nope, me/her katy perry...she was always on my shit about me NOT putting until i finally broke it too her that I AM WAITING FOR MARRIAGE...this didnt take place in vegas, this all took place in J-vegas jacksonville nc...she married me-her USMC Marine 3 weeks before I went off to my 2nd combat deployment as a heavy machine gunner

this song is about a couple where the boy is blaming the girl because they lost all threre money but when went to vegas she had her douts about it but he was all happy and cocky with it and now that she,s winning he's angry with her so she's telling him to suck it up

My Opinion

I feel like this song is about 2 things: -A loss of fame; defamed (this is more supported by the music video) -Young Adults (maybe fresh outta highschool) who were way in over their heads and fucked it all up in vegas.

Catchy song, would do well on the radio. I think that the original version of it is better than the album version though, the album one's music is too quiet in the chorus.

i like the music in the beginning of the song. This song paints a good picture

i think its got a way more deeper meaning than hooking up at vegas, though. i think its like, they're both lost in a relationship and hes blaming it all on her. hence; thats what you get for waking up in vegas" and stuff xD

i'm not a big fan on katy perry but i do like this song. can't wait till it's on the radio

i love this song. it's so catchy. =] katy perry is an awesome singer and songwriter. she doesn't sing about things that normal bands sing about, so it's a nice change.

i think its pretty straight-forward what its about, the lyrics are very literal. to me its about her her boyfriend who got one drunk one night and took a split decision to go to vegas. They obviously had a good time until they passed out, woke up and realised they have no money to get home, no hotel room, no transport and might possibly have gotten married as shes wearing his ring. Now he's giving her dirty looks and blaming her and shes insisting its not her fault as they're both in this mess togther which is why she doesnt let him call his mother because they would get into trouble.
