Saved my life
Last night a DJ
Saved my life
Cause I was sittin' there
Bored to death
And in just one breath
He said
You gotta get on
You gotta get down girl
You know you
Drive me crazy baby
You've got me
Turning to another man
Called you on the phone
No one's home
Baby why ya
Leave me all alone
And if it wasn't for the music
I don't know what I'd do
Last night a DJ
Saved my life
Last night a DJ
Saved my life
From a broken heart
Last night a DJ
Saved my life
Last night a DJ
Saved my life with a song
You know
I hopped into my car
Didn't get very far no
Because I had you
On my mind
Why be so unkind?
You've got
Your women all around
All around this town, boy
But I was trapped
In love with you
And I didn't know
What to do
But when I turned
On my radio
I found out all
I needed to know
Check it out
Last night a DJ
Saved me life
Last night a DJ
Saved me life
From a broken heart
Last night a DJ
Saved me life
Last night a DJ
Saved my life with a song
Last night a DJ
Saved me life
Last night a DJ
Saved me life
From a broken heart
Last night a DJ
Saved me life
Last night a DJ
Saved me life with a song
Hey listen up to your local DJ
You better hear
What he's got to say
There's not a problem
That I can't fix
Cause I can do it
In the mix
And if your man
Gives you trouble
Just you move out
On the double
And you don't let it
Trouble your brain
Cause away goes troubles
Down the drain
I said away goes troubles
Down the drain
Last night a DJ
Saved me life
There's not a problem
That I can't fix
Cause I can do it
In the mix
There's not a problem
That I can't fix
Cause I can do it
In the mix

In the mix
By manipulating the different sound recordings and musical tracks
And if your man
And if your guy or boyfriend
Gives you trouble
Causes difficulties for you or mistreats you
Just you move out
Just relocate or leave the place
On the double
Quickly, without any delay
And you don't let it
And you don't allow it
Trouble your brain
Upset or affect you mentally
Cause away goes troubles
Because difficulties are disappearing
Down the drain
Vanished or eliminated
