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 lovin' 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 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 goin' 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 lovin' 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 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) (Wake up) (Wake up) Oh baby, baby, baby (Wake up) (Wake up) (Wake up)
