Lyrics below:
Wake me up before I drop out on you
You treat me rough to show that you care
And I just can't refuse, baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my bed
Instead I've been subdued
Wake me up before I drop out on you
The TV light is working alright
It feels so good to lose, baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my head
Instead I'm so confused
Let's sift through the haze of the past seven days
Moet in mud, a bottle of bud
And Monday looks divine
Let's trip through the maze, away from everybody's gaze
Your vice-like grip on my sherbet dip
I guess I'll get in line
Was it just the margaritas or are you lookin' at me?
Without a fuss, you're getting us every so slightly messed up
Was it just the margaritas or are you talkin' to me?
It feels like I'm back at school, makes me wanna break the rules
Wake me up before I drop out on you
You treat me rough to show that you care
And I just can't refuse, baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my bed
Instead I've been subdued
Wake me up before I drop out on you
The TV light is working alright
It feels so good to lose, baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my head
Instead I'm so confused
You always were a dye in the wool
You always thought that you were so cool
Never realised that you'd be shared
I think you're off your head
Dressed up and put on my makeup
My best face just for you
I'm sad to hear that you're still sugar
Now you know what I can do
Don't waste your time (don't waste your time)
You know my passion is to yours and mine
Just read the signs (just read the signs)
Your passion belongs to me, myself, and I
Wake me up before I drop out on you
You treat me rough to show that you care
And I just can't refuse, baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my bed
Instead I've been subdued
Wake me up before I drop out on you
The TV light is working alright
It feels so good to lose, baby
If I had a promise from you
I'd get up and out of my head
Instead I'm so confused
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Just read the signs

Sarah absolutely killed this song and video! It was apparently her favourite Girls Aloud song. Rest in peace, legend.

[@highheartwellness]

a legend indeed! love her in this video!

[@craigsimons817]

Absolutely. Her passing is incredibly sad. RIP Sarah.

[@rainbowlady1532]

She definitely slays the rock chick/biker babe vibe the most 🏍️👸

[@82youtubeshared]

Rip!! she was brill🩷

[@MrMusicPlayerz]

RIP ❤😢

[@mrdoofa9357]

The world has just lost a very talented and beautiful lady. I saw Girls aloud perform live twice and she was brilliant live. I was devastated at the news of her passing. RIP Sarah, you’ll be missed.

[@rojaktar3509]

I'm the same age yet after numerous health issues including a liver transplant I'm still here

[@gf9111]

this song turned me into a girls aloud fan, its so good and i think captures the "girls aloud" sound and energy so well

[@YYH2S]

❤

[@Xfarmohax]

So fucking underrated and this song was ahead from it's time

[@zlrs0113]

It was probably 9/10 years behind its time.

[@Willlll1m]

Girls Aloud discography is unmatched but this really has to be the most underrated single of them all

[@thisisstupid1621]

Sarah couldn't look more in her element

[@laminage]

Every Video they did, she just was enjoying it beyond belief. Remember the one they did with The Sugababes.

[@MrMusicPlayerz]

❤

[@johnflynn9331]

gen z musicians should take note... this is a proper girl band!!

[@valentinch0]

Don’t call yourself an Alouder if you don’t do the HAIR FLIP when you’re listening to this one

[@MrMusicPlayerz]

😂

[@NirvanaPhoenix]

true alouders have dodgy necks from all the hair flips

[@craigsimons817]

The sexiest girl band of all time.

[@RhapsodyOfHammerfall]

+Craig Simons Agreed.

[@lourdesknowles4990]

Richard East Little Mix? Destiny’s Child? I mean I love Girls Aloud but it’s pretty biased to call them the most musically talented, they’re good but not the best.

[@laminage]

They are in a class by themselves because they showed that a Group created on Reality TV can be successful. No other Group in The Popstars Franchise were able to achieve what they did.

[@nicolemckay30]

Craig Simons and still is

[@stevencbaker]

Liam Kay oh come on little mix have nothing on these

[@marge1112]

Rest in peace Sarah 🖤

[@lils0487]

absolutely love girls aloud , nicola is an absolute queen, rest in peace gorgeous sarah your energy is unmatched🥰💖

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

One of their very best tunes to date, love it.

[@MrMusicPlayerz]

👍❤

[@alexthepensmith6101]

This was the single of theirs that turned me into a hardcore fan. I remember them performing this on Top of the Pops with the Harley Davidson motorbikes from this video in these outfits. Pop fucking justice!

[@tinaturner134]

Rest in peace lovely angel Sarah we miss you 😢

[@naniorossi3067]

Nadine has got class, attitude and more importantly, talent.

[@laminage]

Yes but she doesn't have that "thing" that Cheryl has and that's why her Solo Career never took off the way Cheryl's did. Justin Timberlake always said that JC Chasez was the "Star" of N'Sync but look what happened. When they did "Gone", Justin did the Solo first then the fellows came in afterwards. When they did The Video, you knew it was The Coronation Of Justin Timberlake as A Solo Superstar.

[@jambon6451]

She certainly has class! The way she swore and screamed at a man after she knocked him off his motorcycle with her Porsche was truly a class act. She's an ass.

[@ellajackson4272]

@@jambon6451 that was Nicola lol not Nadine

[@kerirobinson1590]

She does not, however, have her passport with her

[@MrMusicPlayerz]

They all do

[@arianafcks]

i absolutely need to hear this live at their tour

[@Willlll1m]

Too many iconic moments to mention, one of their most memorable music videos

[@rosebudd5724]

Cheryl and Sarah look stunning in this video.

[@arunicahom-choudhury1641]

And Nicola.

She's beautiful, no doubt about it. Whoever said she's ugly needs scalping.

[@remalewis6675]

I remember singing this song at school when I was little 😂😂 still love this song still🙌🔥🔥🎶🎶

[@laminage]

Nicola showed just how "gangsta" she was in this Video. She always gave me the impression of being The Conservative One but she owned this Song.

[@henbane2247]

I love Nicola

[@gregormackenzie2434]

I highly doubt any of Girls Aloud were tories

[@KLOCKZ1]

1:54 geesus girl killing!

Great remaster! Can't wait for Long Hot Summer next and then Biology!!

[@stevanbankier707]

Defo my go to girls aloud track everytime

[@J0nB0yH88]

oh Cheryl it all started with that transfer tattoo...

[@aelynb]

hahahahahahaha right

[@jp-jq4he]

And ended with a tat on her ass lol

[@blakefletcher9834]

I think shes always that back tat though. I'm pretty sure anyway

[@YYH2S]

Lol 😂

[@danbruno5945]

Hands down best girl band video/song/group. Not cheesy like the rest Tatoos Motorbikes ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Mscape7]

Holler by Spice isn't cheesy either.

[@laminage]

Give Xenomania their props. They were the best Songwriting Team for any Girlband. I rank them up there with Holland/Dozier/Holland (Motown), Dallas Austin (TLC) and even Phil Spector (Ronettes, Crystals) the best collaborators with A Girlband.

[@getnasty08]

When this song came out I had it on repeat for months. I mean constant repeat. My friends still say it to me every so often “remember you wouldn’t stop playing that fucking song by GA!” 😂 Still a banger of a tune!

[@windir]

This song boosts my confidence for some reason really miss girls aloud

[@ashleylongstaff3327]

RIP Sarah harding xx

It’s just such a good song. I love the aesthetic of the music video. It’s even better live, especially on Nicola’s solo. I love Cheryl’s Geordie accent when she says margaritas. 🎉

If Motown Funk Brothers Benny "Papa Zita" Benjamin (Drums) and James Jamerson (Bass) had played on this track it would have sent chills down their spines. They were amazing.
