Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't have no objection to the world outside

I don't have no complaints against life's one-way ride

I know I'm sleepin' with an angel, and this devil's in luck

Ooh, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

[Verse 2]

I've been dreamin' for too long

I guess something's always wrong, unless I

[Verse 3]

Wake up a-next to a-you

I wanna wake up a-next to you

[Verse 4]

The summer's left a spell on us, magic and gold

The tarmac's cracked and shimmerin', upon the road

I know I'm walkin' with an angel down a hot avenue

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

[Verse 5]

I've been dreamin' for too long

I guess something's always wrong, unless I

[Verse 6]

Wake up a-next to a-you

I wanna wake up

Wake up a-next to you

[Verse 7]

You know what I'm gon' do?

I'm gon' pick up the telephone right now

And I'm gonna call information

I'm gonna say to 'em

"Where is she right now?"

'Cause I want you

And I need you

And I wanna hear her say

"Hey, baby, wake up"

[Verse 8]

Wake up a-next to a-you

I wanna wake up

Wake up a-next to a-you

[Verse 9]

"Where is she right now?" I said

'Cause I want her

And I need her

And I wanna hear her say

Wake up, wake up, wake up

Gonna wake up, wake up, wake up

Gonna wake up, wake up, wake

Gonna wake up, wake up, wake up

Where is she right now?

'Cause I want her

Need her
