Wake Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That look that lasts a bit too long, is gone
That touch that burns a bit too strong, is gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, no
I think I recognize this song and
Oh, no
I think I know just what is wrong
Oh, woah

[Chorus]
Wake me up when the sad part ends
Wake me up when we're just friends
Wake me up when the hard part's over
Wake me up when my cup ain't running over, baby

[Verse 2]
That dance that dances out of time
It's sad to say it's mine
That song that sings without a rhyme, is mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, no
I think I recognize this song and
Oh, no
I think I know just what is wrong
Oh, woah
[Chorus]
Wake me up when the sad part ends
Wake me up when we're just friends
Wake me up when the hard part's over
Wake me up when my cup ain't running over, baby

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Wake me up when the sad part ends
Wake me up when we're just friends
Wake me up when the hard part's over
Wake me up when my cup ain't running over, baby
Baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
