Alicia Keys - Wake Up Lyrics

You used to be my closest ally
In this cold, cold world of deception and lies, ooh
We would defend and protect one and 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 lovin'
When we gonna wake up, my baby
Before it's too late?

Whoa, baby
Where did we go wrong, baby?
Uh huh
Did this cold, cold world turn us into stone?
Well
Now all our battle is your ego and your pride
It's ticking like a time bomb, ready to ignite
Hurtin' 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's been too long
Can't get it right where 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 lovin'
When we gonna wake up, my baby
Before it's too late?

Oh, baby (wake up)
Oh, darlin' (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 about 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)

Wake up
Wake up, oh, baby baby baby
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
