Wake Up Lyrics

You used to be my closest ally
In this cold, cold world of deception and lies
We would defend and protect 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 (wake up)
Baby,(wake up) it's time for loving
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
My baby,(wake up)before it's too late

Oh baby
Where did we go wrong, baby
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
Hurt me to fight

So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
Baby,(wake up) it's time for loving
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
My baby,(wake up) before it's too late
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
Baby,(wake up) it's time for loving
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
My baby,(wake up) 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
Living to 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 (wake up)
Baby,(wake up)it's time for loving
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
My baby,(wake up)before it's too late
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
Baby,(wake up) it's time for loving
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
My baby,(wake up) before it's too late
When we gonna wake up (wake up)
Baby,(wake up)it's time for loving
When we gonna wake up (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)
Seems we're wasting so much time (wake up)
And we're about to lose it all (wake up)
Oh baby baby baby (wake up)
Said I need you baby
Oh I need my baby home (wake up)
Bring my baby back to me (wake up)
Oh baby baby baby (wake up)
Oh oh (wake up)

Cover art for Wake Up lyrics by Alicia Keys

All about the rollercoaster cycle of relationships. It think it's come to a point where these two have reached a point of total discernment, understanding where they go wrong. But it's one thing to understand what the problem is and knowing how to fix it. my favorite line:

now all i battle is your ego and your pride ticking like a time bomb, ready to ignite hurting me to fight

No, this song is about the issues of the world. She mentioned that in an interview.
