Wake Up Call
Maroon 5 [www.musikaki.blog.br] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 have made it, babe

If you needed love
Well, then, ask for love
Could have given love
Now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault
'Cause you both deserve
What's coming now
So don't say a word

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 have bled 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
I hear a sound and hit the ground

If you needed love
Well, then, ask for love
Could have given love
Now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault
'Cause you both deserve
What's coming now
So don't say a word

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 feel so bad
I don't feel so bad
I don't feel so bad

I'm so sorry, darling
Did I do the wrong thing?
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is his heart still beating?

Whoa, oh, oh

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 feel so bad

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, no
He won't come around here?
I don't feel so bad

(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)
(Wake up call)




(Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed)
(Don't you care about me anymore)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maroon 5's Wake Up Call appear to be about a cheating partner who is caught in the act by the singer. The singer is hurt and angry, feeling betrayed by their partner's actions. They express their pain and emotional rawness, admitting to living on "raw emotion" and saying that they are not kind to those who betray them. They also seem to imply that their partner has taken advantage of their love and generosity ("Would have bled to make you happy / You didn't need to treat me that way").


The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "Wake up call," drives home the idea that the singer is awakening to the reality of the situation and taking control of it. They confront their partner and the person they cheated with ("Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed"), and make it clear that they are not going to stand for this treatment anymore. The closing lines, where the singer questions whether they did the right thing and wonders if their partner's lover is still alive, add an element of ambiguity to the story.


Overall, Wake Up Call is a powerful song about heartbreak, betrayal, and the strength it takes to move on from a toxic relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

I didn't hear what you were saying
I wasn't paying attention to you


I live on raw emotion, baby
I'm a highly emotional person


I answer questions, never maybe
I'm direct and don't give vague answers


And I'm not kind if you betray me
I don't forgive betrayal easily


So, who the hell are you to save me?
I don't need your help


I never would have made it, babe
I wouldn't have succeeded without you


If you needed love
If you were looking for love


Well, then, ask for love
You should have asked for it


Could have given love
I could have given you love


Now I'm taking love
I'm taking love from someone else now


And it's not my fault
It's not my responsibility


'Cause you both deserve
Because you both should face the consequences


What's coming now
What's coming to you now


So don't say a word
Don't try to argue against it


Wake up call
A sudden realization or warning


Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
You cheated on me while I was asleep


Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you have any feelings left for me?


I don't think so
I don't believe you do


Six foot tall
A description of an intruder's height


Came without a warning, so I had to shoot him dead
I had to act in self-defense


He won't come around here anymore
He won't bother me again


I don't feel so bad
I don't regret my actions


Would have bled to make you happy
I would have sacrificed a lot for you


You didn't need to treat me that way
You didn't have to mistreat me


And now you beat me at my own game
You've outdone me in something I thought I was good at


And now I'm finally sleeping soundly
I'm at peace with the situation


And your lover's screaming loudly
Your new partner is upset


I hear a sound and hit the ground
I react quickly to danger


I'm so sorry, darling
I regret my actions


Did I do the wrong thing?
Did I make a mistake?


Oh, what was I thinking?
I wasn't thinking clearly


Is his heart still beating?
Is the intruder still alive?
