Boogie Wonderland
Brittany Murphy Lyrics

Gloria
An exclamation used to express triumph or congratulations.

Day-light deals of bed-head
The early hours of the day come too soon for people who have trouble sleeping.

Gloria
An exclamation used to express triumph or congratulations.

Baby uh-uh it don't work
Despite your efforts, your situation is not improving.

Oh baby uh uh uh uh uh
Expression of disappointment and frustration.

Uh uh uh uh
Expression of hesitation or doubt.

Uh uh uh uh uh
Expression of hesitation or doubt, repeated.

So slowly, into hearts of those who
Something happening very gradually and almost imperceptibly to people who are desperate for more than they currently have.

Need more than they get
People who are unhappy or unfulfilled despite having what others might consider to be enough or plenty.

Day-light deals of bed-head
The early hours of the day come too soon for people who have trouble sleeping.

To penguins that has laid too many bets
To those who have taken too many risks or gambles, and are now suffering the consequences.

The mirror stares
Reflecting on yourself and your situation, confronting your own reality.

You in the face
Confronting your own mistakes or shortcomings directly.

And says:
The realization hitting you hard and clear.

You say your prayers
Turning to religion or spirituality for comfort or guidance.

Though you don't care
Despite not truly believing, you still perform the rituals or seek solace from a higher power.

You sing and you
Expressing your emotions, even if only through music or dance.

Shake the heart
Dancing or moving in order to release emotional energy or pain.

Dance
The act of moving in a rhythmical fashion, often as a way of coping with or expressing emotions.

Boogie wonderland
A metaphorical place where people dance and let loose, escaping their problems and worries for a time.

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts
Late at night, when people are at their most vulnerable, their true emotions and desires start to come to the surface.

Of men who need more than they get
Men who are unfulfilled, seeking more than what they currently have.

Daylight deals a bad hand
The light of day can be harsh and unforgiving, exposing the harsh realities of life.

To a women who has laid too many bets
Women who have made too many risky decisions and are now suffering the consequences.

You say your prayers though you don't care
Turning to religion or spirituality for comfort or guidance, even if you don't truly believe in it.

You dance and shake the hurt
Releasing emotional energy or pain through dancing or movement.
