You don't buy me flowers,
you don't buy me drinks,
you don't drive me anywhere,
but totally insane,
we used to talk for hours,
until the night was through,
but recently your ego,
is going through the roof

[Bridge:]
Baby, you need a wake up call,
cause you're too comfortable,
you think because you've bagged me
you don't have to work at all

[Chorus:]
It seems like I gotta do wrong,
to get your attention,
but maybe when I call this man up,
you finally start to wake up,
I think I'm gonna have to cheat,
to keep your eyes on me,
or maybe if I make you jealous,
you'll finally start to wake up,
this is your wake up call,
this is your wake up call,
so wake you, wake up,
you better wake up

You underestimated the kind of chick I am,
cause I don't have a problem, finding someone else
I put my little black dress on,
and go out to the club,
and you won't know what's going on,
till tomorrow when your boys, tell you I was dancing with someone

[Bridge:]
cause baby, you need a wake up call,
you're way too comfortable,
you think that now you have me,
you don't have to work at all

[Chorus:]
It seems like I gotta do wrong,
to get your attention,
but maybe when I call this man up,
you finally start to wake up,
I think I'm gonna have to cheat,
to keep your eyes on me,
or maybe if I make you jealous,
you'll finally start to wake up,
this is your wake up call,
this is your wake up call,
so wake you, wake up,

You're taking me for granted,
boy you really slacking,
if I see somebody, I like, I'ma have to grab em
time is running out but, you need to do me right so,
I'ma get my bet, you better wake up

It seems like I gotta do wrong,

but maybe when I call this man up,
you finally start to wake up,
I think I'm gonna have to cheat, (ch-ch-cheat)
to keep your eyes on me,
or maybe if I make you jealous,

Line by Line Meaning

You don't buy me flowers
You don't do the little things to show me you care

You don't buy me drinks
You don't make an effort to spend time with me

You don't drive me anywhere
You don't take me out or show me any romance

But totally insane
This lack of effort is driving me crazy

We used to talk for hours
We used to have a strong connection and communication

Until the night was through
We spent a lot of time talking and enjoying each other's company

But recently your ego
But lately, your ego has gotten in the way

Is going through the roof
Your arrogance is becoming unbearable

Maybe you need a wake up call
Perhaps you need a reminder to appreciate me

'Cause you're too comfortable
You've grown complacent in our relationship

You think because you've bagged me
You believe you don't need to put in any more effort, having already 'won' me

You don't have to work at all
You're not putting any work into maintaining our relationship

It seems like I gotta do wrong
It seems like I have to do something negative to get your attention

To get your attention
To make you notice me

But maybe when I call this man up
But maybe when I talk to another man

You'll finally start to wake up
You'll finally realize what you're missing

I think I'm gonna have to cheat
I think I'm going to have to betray your trust to get your attention

To keep your eyes on me
To make you pay attention to me

But maybe if I make you jealous
But maybe if I make you feel threatened by other men

This is your wake up call
Consider this a notice to wake up and realize what's going on in our relationship

You're under-estimated
You're taking me for granted

The kinda chick I am
The type of woman I am deserves better treatment

'Cause I don't have a problem
Because I have no qualms with leaving and finding someone else

Finding someone else
Finding someone who will appreciate me

I'll put my little black dress on
I'll dress up and go out to the clubs

And go out to the clubs
I'll go out and have fun without you

And you won't know what's going on
You won't know what I'm doing behind your back

'Til tomorrow when your boys tell you
Until your friends tell you what I've been up to

I was dancing with someone
I was spending time with someone else

You're way too comfortable
You're too relaxed and not putting in enough effort

But maybe when I call this man up
But maybe when I talk to another man

It seems like I gotta do wrong
It seems like I have to do something negative to get your attention

Time is running out but
Our relationship is running out of time

You need to do me right so
You need to treat me better so that

I'ma get mine back
I feel valued and appreciated in our relationship

Seems like I got it all wrong
It seems like I've been doing everything wrong

So wake up
Pay attention

You better wake up
You need to start taking our relationship seriously

This is your wake up call
Consider this a notice to wake up and realize what's going on in our relationship

So wake up, wake up
Pay attention and take action

You better wake up
You need to start showing me the love and respect I deserve

This is your wake up call
Consider this a notice to wake up and realize what's going on in our relationship

So wake up, wake up
Pay attention and take action

You better wake up
You need to start taking our relationship seriously
