Wake Up A Call is the second single from their follow up second album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, which details the response to catching one’s lover with another and the accompanying lack of remorse for actions taken. In the song’s video, designed as a film trailer, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine pays for his murderous response.
Even though the insistent, pounding, keyboard-centered soul-rock approach of the music fits the lyrical intensity of the song well, the question I’m left with is whether Wake Up Call unnecessarily glorifies the violent content of both song and video.
In any case, the song’s still so catchy it gets in your head the first time you hear it! =)
Wake Up Call by Maroon 5, and Lyrics
Maroon 5 - Wake Up Call, Lyrics
I didn’t hear what you were saying
I live on raw emotion baby
I answer questions, never maybe
And I’m not kind if you betray me
So who the hell are you to save me?
I never would’ve made it baby
[Bridge]
If you needed love
Well then ask for love
Could have given love
Now I’m taking love
And it’s not my fault
Coz you both deserve
What’s coming now
So don’t say a word
[Chorus]
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don’t you care about me anymore? Don’t you care about me?
I don’t think so
Six foot tall came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won’t come around here anymore. Come around here? I don’t think so
Would’ve bared to make you happy
You didn’t need to treat me that way
And now you beat me at my own game
And now I’m finally sleeping soundly
And your lover’s screaming loudly, here a sound and hit the ground
[Bridge]
If you needed love
Well then ask for love
Could have given love
Now I’m taking love
And it’s not my fault
Coz you both deserve
What’s coming now
So don’t say a word
[Chorus]
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another man in my bed
You don’t care about me anymore. Care about me?
I don’t think so
Six foot tall came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won’t come around here anymore, come around here?
I don’t feel so bad, I don’t feel so bad, I don’t feel so bad
[Breakdown]
I’m so sorry darling; did I do the wrong thing?
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is his heart still beating?
Woah oh oooh
[Chorus]
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don’t you care about me anymore? Don’t you care about me?
I don’t think so
Six foot tall came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won’t come around here anymore. He won’t come around here. I don’t feel so bad
[Chorus]
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don’t you care about me anymore? Don’t you care about me?
I don’t feel so bad
Six foot tall came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won’t come around here anymore. No, he won’t come around here. I don’t feel so bad
I don’t feel so bad (Wake up call)
I don’t feel so bad (Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed)
I don’t feel so bad (Don’t you care about me anymore?)
Don’t you care about me? I don’t feel so bad.
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
