In Wake Up Dead T-Pain and Chris Brown sing about the prospect of losing their lover and compare the feeling of losing them to death.

[Intro: T-Pain, Chris Brown]
Oh no, no
Oh no, yeah
Oh no, oh no (Na-na, na-na-na)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
[Verse 1: T-Pain]
Sleepless nights tryna learn how to die in my sleep
'Cause I don't wanna be the one to wake up without a heartbeat, mm
Trust me, you're gonna love this thing, you'll see
Baby, just tell me you don't love me and I'll admit defeat
It ain't that deep, deep, deep, deep-deep, deep, no
You know I'd kill for some of your real feelings
Oh, no, it ain't that sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet-sweet, sweet, no
Just as long as you're the one who kills me
[Pre-Chorus: T-Pain & Chris Brown, T-Pain]
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, wake up dead, wake up dead
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, wake up dead, oh-oh-oh
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead
'Cause I don't wanna turn up missin'
But I can't get you out of my head
Baby, I just needed you to listen
[Chorus: T-Pain & Chris Brown, Chris Brown]
I don't wanna wake up dead, ooh-ooh
If I ain't got you, then I'm already gone
Baby, don't leave me alone
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, ooh-ooh (Oh-oh)
I'ma take twenty-three shots of Patrón
'Cause, girl, I keep comin' back home
I don't wanna wake up
[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
Oh my gosh, you're tryna kill me in my sleep
Rough sex, makin' you my enemy, oh-woah-oh
Can I be honest, baby?
I kinda like the fact that you kinda crazy
Yeah, you bipolar just like me
That ain't a problem, baby, no, no
Girl, you soakin' wet, 'cause I'm makin' it rain
Come on, hop in the passenger and swerve in my lane
You gotta back it up for me three times
I want it all, baby
Eat you up 'cause it's dinner time
Girl, you better play nice
Just wait for it, I'ma make you work this time, oh
[Pre-Chorus: T-Pain & Chris Brown, T-Pain]
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, wake up dead, wake up dead
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, wake up dead, oh-oh-oh
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead
'Cause I don't wanna turn up missin'
But I can't get you out of my head
Baby, I just need you to listen
[Chorus: T-Pain & Chris Brown, T-Pain]
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, ooh-ooh (Dead, dead, dead)
If I ain't got you, then I'm already gone
Baby, don't leave me alone
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, ooh-ooh (Dead, dead, dead, oh-oh)
I'ma take twenty-three shots of Patrón
Girl, I keep comin' back home
And I don't wanna wake up
[Verse 3: T-Pain]
Oh-oh, oh
Asphyxiation got me losin' my breath
She's my grim reaper, I'm in love with death
It's only been twenty-four hours, I should probably go and get me some rest
But the way that time's been movin' backwards
I've been— Neeb ev'I sdrawkcab 'nivom neeb s'emit
Babe, babe, babe, babe-babe, babe (Yeah)
What the fuck?
Like, what's up?
Why you do me that way?
I can feel my heartbeat in my head
You got me stayin' in this bed
[Pre-Chorus: T-Pain & Chris Brown, T-Pain]
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, wake up dead, wake up dead
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, wake up dead, oh-oh-oh
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead
'Cause I don't wanna turn up missin'
But I can't get you out of my head
Baby, I just need you to listen
[Chorus: T-Pain & Chris Brown, T-Pain]
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, ooh-ooh (Dead, dead, dead)
If I ain't got you, then I'm already gone
Baby, don't leave me alone
'Cause I don't wanna wake up dead, ooh-ooh (Dead, dead, dead, oh-oh)
I'ma take twenty-three shots of Patrón
Girl, if you ain't comin' back home
Then I don't wanna wake up
