[Verse]

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 say we

Never would have made it babe.

[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

Cause you both deserve

What is 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.

[Breakdown]

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 find you sleeping soundly

And your lovers screaming loudly

Hear 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

Cause 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 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 ohh

[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 anymore? 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

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?)

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?
