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 to make it happen,
Try to make it alright,
I know I make mistakes,
I'm living life day to day,
It's never really easy but it's okay

[Chorus]
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 city's restless,
It's all around me,
People, emotions,
Sick of all the same routines,
And they need to go,
They need to getaway, tonight

I put my makeup on a Saturday night,
I try to make it happen,
Try to make it alright,
I know I make mistakes,
I'm living life day to day,
It's never really easy but it's okay

[Chorus]

People all around,
Everywhere that you go,
People all around you,
They don't really know you,
Everybody's 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 on a Saturday night,
Could be New York,
Maybe Hollywood and Vine,
London, Paris, maybe Tokyo,
There's something going on anywhere I go

[Chorus]

    General Comment:It's soo funny how the same people keep on posting in all Hilary's songs saying she sucks and shit. Get over it, go to your own friggin' music if you hate her so much.

    I really love this song, and I think it can relate to other stuff as well. Like, if your in school and you know how sometimes everyone judges you by the outside? and everyones looking at you, giving you weird expressions, but they don't know you at all? Thats kinda how I relate to it, since im not a celeb and all.
