Alicia Keys › Lyrics › Wake Up

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, 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?
Did this cold, cold world turn us into stone?
Well

Now all our battle is your ego and your pride
It's tickin' like a time bomb
Ready to ignite, hurt 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, living 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, oh darlin'
When we gonna wake up
When we gonna take a look and see
What's goin' on, oh, what's goin' on?
Seems we're wasting so much time
And we're about to lose it all

Oh baby, baby, baby
Oh said, "I need you baby"
Oh, I need my baby home
Bring my baby back to me
Oh oh, baby, baby, baby
