Donna Summer - The Wanderer Lyrics
Woke up this morning
Dragged myself across the bed
Alice went to wonderland
But I stayed home instead
I started feeling bad
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Whoooa, I'm a wanderer
She climbed right through the mirror
Oh that really blew my mind
I think I'll follow through her rhythm
And her rhyme
I know I'm ready now
It's just a little time
'Cause I'm a wanderer
'Cause I'm a wanderer
I travel every place
'Cause I'm a wanderer
From here to outer space
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Got no time
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Whooooa, just a wanderer
Slipped down the back stair
On my toes
Then out the door
They didn't hear
Now they won't see me anymore
'Cause I'm can't take
That nine to five life
It's a bore
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Yeaaaah, just a wanderer
And so it's up and out
And on and off the road
Won't have no troubles
'Cause the whole world is my home
No need to worry
'Cause I seldom am alone
'Cause I'm wanderer
Whooooa, I'm a wanderer
'Cause I'm a wanderer
I travel every place
'Cause I'm a wanderer
From here to outer space
'Cause I'm wanderer
Got no time
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Whooooa, just a wanderer
[Instrumental Interlude]
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Whooooa, just a wanderer
Now you may see me
Any time and any place
And you may know me
From the same look
On your face
And I don't know if I could
Change your frame of mind
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Whooooa, just a wanderer
'Cause I'm a wanderer
I travel every place
'Cause I'm a wanderer
From here to outer space
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Got no time
'Cause I'm a wanderer
'Cause I'm a wanderer
'Cause I'm a wanderer
'Cause I'm a wanderer
I travel every place
'Cause I'm a wanderer
From here to outer space
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Got no time
'Cause I'm a wanderer
I travel every place
'Cause I'm a wanderer
From here to outer space
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Got no time

Two things about Donna Summer that I have no problem expressing; that I had the serious hots for her during this era. And that I believe she passed away due to the health effects of 9/11 in NYC

Woke up this morning
Dragged myself across the bed
Alice went to wonderland
But I stayed home instead
I started feeling bad
'Cause I was left behind
'Cause I'm a wanderer
Oh yes, I'm a wanderer

Oh that really blew my mind
I think I'll follow through her rhythm
And her rhyme

Ay love Donna.
Yoko Ono cuenta que a John Lennon le gustaba esta canción... le dijo gritando mientras lo ponía en el tocadiscos : ¡Escucha esto! ¡Canta como Elvis! ¡Míralo! ¡Míralo!
....Crappy 80's synth sound sucked.......she was awesome in the 70's
This was such an awesome song and album!
Rock meets techno pop!
buena song de la reina del disco DONNA SUMMER.
so presious ...
Its Summer time!!!
A much better song has already existed by the name of "The Wanderer" by Dion from 1961. And also, this song is NOT good
There's no way people can find this song good. It sounds so dumb, in my opinion the "ooooo I'm a wanderer" is SO ANNOYING. The whole song ruins "The Wanderer" category started by Dion
Your opinion is shit
Mikey Condry you are an idiot
It's 80s and I like 95% of mainstream 80s..including country. So yes it's good.
one of the first 45s i owned
She Looks Beautiful With Her Red Cap, I Love !!!
Donna was the first black female played on MTV and the first to be played in heavy rotation on MTV (She Works Hard for the Money 83), she was also the first to have her videos played in consistent heavy rotation, as all 3 videos that followed (SWHFTM) were played in heavy rotation. Followed by the Pointer Sisters and Tina Turner. For some reason this trailblazing has been incorrectly attributed to WH or JJ. Donna was also first to be nominated for an MTV award, Tina was the first to win one. Houston's wiki bio says she was also a trailblazer for other minorities, like latinos, I guess they have never heard of Linda Ronstadt of Julio Iglesias who were played in heavy rotation before Houston's debut. Sheila E also was played in HR and nominated for 3 MTV awards, and 2 Grammys before Houston.
+Dennis Jacks It doesn't surprise me: she's hot!
Dennis Jacks Thanx for the 411 on Donna Summer. Give credit when credit is due. 🎤 A DS fan here.
Thanks for not saying that "African American" BULLSHIT! Instead you used the more adequate word: Black...
Because either you are American or not, you can't be both... God bless you friend!
One of my personal anthems. Thanks for posting.
I played this 45 until it basically melted. THANK YOU.
donna summer God rest her soul, she was gorgeous and so talented..she is missed...favorite donna summer song.
This song is one of the best songs I love from her! It is a part of my childhood and brings back good memories when I hear it!
I love old songs...but gosh this is awful to me
This song rocks!!!!!
Beth Ditto and Gossip should cover this song.
the voice here sometimes reminds me to Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders
@omanmc ...The Wanderer (LP) got a glowing review from Dave Marsh in the New Rolling Stone Record Guide: "On this album, Summer, Bellotte, and Moroder function as a sort of high-tech rock band. With the possible exception of Michael Jackson's Off the Wall, no-one has made a contemporary dance record with so much stylistic depth, grace and power."
nobody else posted it cause its a horrible song
stupid crappy song makes kitten to smell ther own butts
Donna hit #3 on Billboard on 11/15/80. Thanks for posting it! :)
This is from before they really started making videos, so cool!
Thanks for posting this great video! I love Donna Summer!
I heard this song on the radio.. It reached #1 cheesiest song in the past 40 years. I agree.. Pure garbage.
It kick@ss, your ears aren't working.
I too haven't seen the music video but I have always enjoyed this Donna Summer song. Thanks for posting.
Donna was so revolutionairy back then.... she really changed her own boundaries and that of her fans and listeners. A true artist!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE #1 DONNA SUMMER DEVOTEE TILL I HEARD THIS...
Great song from a great album. Strangely very hard to get hold of the album - maybe due to Geffen copyrights??
luv thissss!!!!
never knew there was a video for this! cool song!!!
wow AWSOME ROCK AND ROLE VOICE ... DONNA? YOU ARE THE GREATHEST:) Thanks for this awsme track:)
She's doing Elvis!:)
I love Donna but I hated this tune it was the worst song ever. She later came back with She works hard for the money,
@freak0n8ure -- Right after Magic & Xanadu by ONJ. :-)

Cus i'm a Romulan! ooooo just a Romulan! " :D
Please, someone make a video of this. :) Just lemme know when you do so i know who to love forever lol
Donna Summer has a new single coming out this August, 2010. It's called, "To Paris With Love". There's going to be some great mixes too!
Born in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester or Dawchestuh as they say out there! Anytime I think back to the Disco days of the 70's, Donna Summer is one of the first singers I think of...
Anyone knows why the CD the Wanderer is not available? My vinyl record has turned grey...
Love it SOOO much!
From Late 1980 comes this nice song & video!!! Very Good Memories!!!
Donna as "Elvis" !!!! This is Just Brilliant !!!! Brilliant Woman !!!! My favourite Singer from All times !!!! pauLo :-D
This may be the worst comment ever made, your cheesy 2 cent opinion, vocal lonliness, & language stupidity, saying (take) when you should have said (takes)....
@Johnnyc5150 check your ears. She clearly says Wanderer -- there are things singers do to keep their sound that you obviously don't understand. Go learn something, then come back and make these comments.
This may be the worst song ever recorded.. The $30 keyboard, cheesy slap-back vocal echo and her speech impediment in saying "wahndawah"..
Wow.. I heard this on a Top-10 Cheesiest Songs in American History and she take the Cake..
MTV actually started on August 1st, 1981.....just fyi...
Wow, I haven't heard this song in years! Thanks for posting.
anything she sings is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really great disco.. best by Donna!
So do I. And, although I'm not religious, I find it has a very strong basic message. Donna was never happy with her "bad girl" image and "The Wanderer" is a bit like her response to it. It shows how much control she had over the album as a whole too. She has made a lot of quality music during her long career and it has stood the test of time, as quality always does.
Surely "The Wanderer" is the most under-estimated rock/disco fusion album of that decade. I still listen to it and think it works...
THANX YT!!! It was so long since I heard this incredible song!!! A really good feel-good song, great for listening to whilst doing your workout at the gym!!!! It took me so long to find this song - until YT that is!!!
Donna Summer is was and always will be the disco queen.
Gracias Donna por tu música, es muy bonita y bailable
My least favorite Donna Summer album ever.
Donna Summer is awesome. no matter what she did in the past. we should all still love her. after all. we all make mistakes, don't we?
"The Wanderer" album was like a rejection of some of her past albums, e.g. "Bad Girls", or maybe it was just a new departure. Either way, she was never as popular after she released "The Wanderer" album. I suppose everyone reaches a peak - of popularity, I mean - and hers was in 1979, during the "Bad Girls" era.
Donna's lookin' glamorous in those cans!
Wonderful voice.
Donna Summer, the greatest !!!
hell no. her and beyonce are fantastic.
I'm not religious myself, but the quality of the songs/lyrics on "The Wanderer" album is very impressive. Pity she had peaked commercially by that time.
"Romeo" is from the aborted '81 Rainbow album.....ah Mr Geffen, what were you thinking?
indeed - seek out any of the "I'm A Rainbow" era stuff if you can - one of the best kept secrets of LaDonna!
Mega flashback. I don't think this ever was on MTV. I do remember hearing it on the radio. Such a change from her disco work.
I remember hearing this song when one of the Voyager spacraft was passing by Saturn.I'M A WANDERER,I TRAVEL EVERY PLACE,I'M A WANDERER,FROM HERE TO OUTER SPACE.
Je suivrais l'été de Donna n'importe où, lorsque, n'importe où ! Été pour toujours !
She is the most diverse singer of all time. She could pull off disco, R&B, new wave and rock. This post-disco gem hit #3 pop, and #13 R&B in 1980.
This song is most definately a far cry from her earlier 70,s disco hits,this is more like new wave,during 1979-81 music was definitely straying awayfrom the 70.s disco sound.artists such as Devo,B-52s,tom tom club,talking heads were evident of this around that time,although the music still got u down on the dance floor,donna summer definitely rocks this song and the video definitely has the feel of early mtv
I didn't know there was a video to this song ever. This is one of first songs I remember listening to as a child. This was her first effort for the then new label, Geffen Records.
i never knew there was a video for this song, lol. Lord, I am so old now.
Donna Summer has repeated time and time again that she didnt make any derogatory remarks against gays. Get your facts straight before spouting off!!!!
I ain't mad at her if she did. Who cares?
When MTV first came out, it was a hassle to have black artist on the channel (like Prince, Michael, and even Donna Summer. It's funny because Wanderer was like New Wave
You don't believe nobody else posted it?!? I don't believe that, after 26 years there was even a video for this!?! This is the FIRST time I've ever seen this!! I just typed it in out of curiosity, and there it was!! Thanx so much for sharing it!!
only seen once in my life, thank you
what a great video... I remember seeing it 25 years ago... I LOVE the metallic cap! Very Disco-Studio 54!
I loved this album, and it actually received high marks from the critics ... love the songs the Wanderer and I Believe in Jesus ... Cold Love ... okay, I like the whole thing ... cuz I'm a Wanderer!
Thanks for posting this clip. The song is awesome.
Really! Thanks for posting
