"Wake Up" lyrics

"Wake Up"

You used to be my closest ally (Uh-huh)
In this cold, cold world of deception and lies (oh)
We would defend and protect one another (One another)
Now I can't tell if we're enemies or lovers

So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves?

When we gonna wake up, baby?
It's time for loving
When we gonna wake up, my baby?
Before it's too late

Oh baby, where did we go wrong, baby? (Uh-huh)
Did this cold, cold world turn us into stone?
Well, now all I battle is your ego and your pride
It's ticking like a time bomb ready to ignite
Hurting me to fight

So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves?

When we gonna wake up, baby?
It's time for loving
When we gonna wake up, my baby?
Before it's too late
When we gonna wake up, baby?
It's time for loving
When we gonna wake up, my baby?
Before it's too late

When the smoke clears
What will be left for us but tears and pain?
Why must we argue over the same things
Just to make up and go back again?
It's never too late, it isn't too long
Can't get it right when no one thinks they're wrong
Gotta get out of bed
And take a look at what's going on

Oh, when we gonna wake up, baby?
It's time for loving
When we gonna wake up, my baby?
Before it's too late
When we gonna wake up, baby?
It's time for loving
When we gonna wake up, my baby?
Before it's too late
When we gonna wake up, baby?
It's time for loving
When we gonna wake up, my baby?
Before it's too late

Oh baby (Wake up)
Oh darling (Wake up)
When we gonna wake up? (Wake up)
When we gonna take a look and see? (Wake up)
What's going on? (Wake up)
Oh, what's going on? (Wake up)
'Cause we're wasting so much time (Wake up)
And we're 'bout to lose it all (Wake up)
Oh baby, baby, baby (Wake up)
Said I need you, baby
Oh, I need my baby home
Bring my baby back to me (Wake up)
Oh (Wake up)
Oh baby (Wake up)
(Wake up)
