Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You better wake up

Ooh yeah

Before you lay your head on that pillow

The pillow, yeah

You better wake

Ooh yeah

Before we both get stuck in the middle

No no no, yeah

[PreChorus]

So, are you sleeping?

Are you sleeping?

You better wake up

You better wake up, oh

So, are you sleeping?

Are you sleeping?

You better wake up

You better wake up, oh

[Refrain]

You better wake

You better wake up, oh

You better wake

You better wake up, oh

[Verse 2]

You better wake up

Baby, don't go to sleep

You better wake up

Better face reality

You better wake

Up to the fact that

You’re turning your back

On the best thing you ever had

And I want you to know that

[PreChorus]

So, are you sleeping?

Are you sleeping?

You better wake up

You better wake up, oh

So, are you sleeping?

Are you sleeping?

You better wake up

You better wake up, oh

[Refrain]

You better wake

You better wake up, oh

You better wake

You better wake up, oh

[Bridge]

Out the blocks to races

But in this race, you hardly can pace this

Know we both played the game when we dated

But at this rate you’re likely to waste this

Tryna hold back

Tryna play it cool like so bad

When deep down you know, just own that

You caught feelings like I was a throwback

Roll pon a riddim, roll pon a riddim no

I know you've been hurt before, gotta let it go

I told you a million times when you got involved

That I ain't really tryna be like them other bro's

Nah, I'm already stepping up

On a big man flow, dem boys a running outta luck

And if we're being honest girl, that's where you're getting stuck

So before you fall asleep you'd better wake up, so

[PreChorus]

Are you sleeping?

Are you sleeping?

You better wake up

You better wake up, oh

So, are you sleeping?

Are you sleeping?

You better wake up

You better wake up, oh

[Refrain]

You better wake

You better wake up, oh

You better wake

You better wake up, oh

You better wake up

Baby, don't go to sleep

[Outro]

You better wake up

Better face reality

You better wake up, oh

You better wake up

Up to the fact that

You better wake

You’re turning your back

You better wake up

On the best thing you ever had

You better wake

You better wake up, no
