Wake Up

All the little girls at the schoolyard notice the little boy alone on the swings
The one he loves, he’s thinking of, she’s busy thinking about other things
Saturday night, by candlelight, he’s waiting patiently home all alone
A change of plans, she’s at the dance, leaving him wondering why by the phone
You know it’s so disappointing to lose the one that you love

Wake up, wake up
You’re gonna lose the one you love
You can spend all your money you won’t find love
Wake up, wake up
You’re gonna lose the one you love
And you’re sitting there thinking she won’t mind it

A business man, away at work, his family’s waiting for his company
Flying the skies, over the seas, but never mentioning how long it could be
Before he’s home, he’s working hard, making the money for his family
Two kids at home, he doesn’t know, their father’s all they ever wanted to see
I guess that he didn’t realize what all the money was for

Wake up, wake up
You’re gonna lose the one you love
You can spend all your money you won’t find love
Wake up, wake up
You’re gonna lose the one you love
And you’re sitting there thinking she won’t mind it

Might not be wrong, might not be right
Don’t let it keep you up in the middle of the night

Wake up, wake up
You’re gonna lose the one you love
You can spend all your money you won’t find love
Wake up, wake up
You’re gonna lose the one you love
And you’re sitting there thinking she won’t mind it
