Wake Up Call
RaeLynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)

I didn't hear what you were saying
I wasn't listening to you
I live on raw emotion, baby
I operate based on emotions rather than logic
I answer questions, never maybe
I respond to direct questions with certainty
And I'm not kind if you betray me
I'm not forgiving if you break my trust
So, who the hell are you to save me?
Who are you to think you can rescue me?
I never would have made it, babe
I couldn't have survived alone without you
If you needed love Well, then, ask for love
You should have asked for love if you needed it
Could have given love Now I'm taking love
You could have given love, but now I'm taking it
And it's not my fault 'Cause you both deserve What's coming now So don't say a word
You both will get what's coming to you, and you can't blame me, so don't try to argue

This is a wake-up call because I caught you cheating in my own bed, and you clearly don't care about me anymore. The person you cheated with is no longer welcome here
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
I would have done anything to make you happy, but you didn't need to treat me so poorly. Now I have the last laugh because I'm finally content, and your lover is the one in turmoil
I'm so sorry, darling Did I do the wrong thing? Oh, what was I thinking? Is his heart still beating? Whoa, oh, oh
I'm apologizing, but I'm not sure if I did the wrong thing, and I'm wondering if his heart is still beating

Repeating the main idea that this situation is a wake-up call and that the cheater no longer cares about the singer
