Billboard gave the song a positive review: "While the ballad "Thinking of You" didn't stir up the same buzz as her previous danceable top 10s, Katy Perry turns it back up a notch with her most radio-friendly song yet, "Waking Up in Vegas." The fourth single from her platinum album "One of the Boys" pokes fun at the pop tart's antics while indulging herself in Sin City. Written by "I Want It That Way" songwriter Andreas Carlsson, Desmond Child, and Perry, the fun starts with the sound of coins clinking out of a slot machine. The momentum continues with hypnotizing guitar effects that conjure a car's engine as it speeds onto the Strip, a forceful drum set laying out the foundation and Perry's infectious vocal driving over. Bets are on for this one".
Waking Up In Vegas lyrics
"Waking Up In Vegas"
You gotta help me out
It's all a blur last night
We need a taxi 'cause you're hung-over and I'm broke
I lost my fake ID but you lost the motel key
Spare me your freakin' dirty looks
Now don't blame me
You want to cash out and get the hell out of town
[Chorus:]
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
Oh, did we get hitched last night, dressed up like Elvis,
Why am I wearing your class ring?
Don't call your mother
'Cause now we're partners in crime
[Chorus]
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 [x3]
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!
Give me some cash out baby
Give me some cash out, honey
