Lyrics: Wake Up
Album: The Diary of Alicia Keys
Artist: Alicia Keys
 

You used to my closed ally
In this cold, cold world of deception and lies
We would defend and protect one another
Now I can’t tell if we are enemies or lovers
So who’s gonna rescue us from ourselves
When are we gonna wake up
Baby, it’s time for loving
When are 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 in a stone
Well
Now all that 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 are we gonna wake up
Baby, it’s time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it’s too late
When are we gonna wake up
Baby, it’s time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it’s too late

When the smoke clears
What will be left for us but tears and pains
Why must we argue over the same things
Just to make your friend go back again
It’s never too late
Living to own
Can’t get it right when no one thinks they’re wrong
Gotta get out of the bed
And take a look what’s going on

Oh when are we gonna wake up
Baby, it’s time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it’s too late
When are we gonna wake up
Baby, it’s time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it’s too late
When are we gonna wake up
Baby, it’s time for loving
When are we gonna wake up
My baby, before it’s too late

Oh baby (wake up)
Oh darling (wake up)
When are we gonna wake up (wake up)
When are we gonna take a look and see (wake up)
What’s going on (wake up)
Oh what’s going on (wake up)
It was 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)
