Last Night a DJ Saved My Life
Outatime Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life yeah
Cause I was sitting there bored to death
And in just one breath he said
You gotta get up you gotta get on you gotta get down girl
(2x)
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
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 don't let it trouble your brain
'Cause way goes trouble down the drain
Said way goes trouble down the drain
You know you drive me crazy baby
You've got me turning to another man
Called you on the phone
No one's home (No one's home)
Baby why leave me all alone
And if it wasn't for the music
I don't know what I'd do
And if it wasn't for the music
I don't know what I'd do
(2x)
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
