Wake Me When It’s Over Lyrics
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
[Verse 1]
I hate it when you go, I love to watch you leave
I hate the way you talk to me, I love you in them jeans
You so disrespectful, but damn, I love your style
But shit, you're so neglectful, how long have you been out?
What have you been drinkin'? What have I been doin'?
Where I was last night? Did you mean "who I been screwin'?"
Life on the internet, I look like the devil
But you're wearing the red dress, holding a shovel
Tried to keep it hush for you, keep it on the low
Tried to spare your feelings, girl shut the door
[Hook]
You knew it was over
I knew it was over
Everyone knew it was over
Wake me when it's over
[Verse 2]
I love the way you smell, but you always on some bullshit
I love how your body feels, why must we do this?
Stop with the excuses, I hate procrastination
You never had no one like me, well, why you so complacent?
And now I'm feeling crazy and foolish
I hate that I'm impatient, damn, we look so stupid
It was all downhill
When you let them in our business
Thought that I could save you
Then we died in the abyss
Raise your hand if he was there (I)
Raise your hand if you care (I)
But I'll bite the bullet for your love
I'll cock back and pull it for your love
[Hook]
You knew it was over
I knew it was over
Everyone knew it was over
Wake me when it's over
[Post-Hook]
It's so easy to throw you under that bus that you ridin' on
It's so easy to take you off that cloud that you call home
It's so easy to expose those who you love the most
But it's so hard to disregard and keep your mouth closed
I'll take the bullets, you can pull it
[Bridge]
Raise your hand if you care (I)
Raise your hand if you were there (I)
Got me out here takin', takin', takin' bullets
Even though you knew it was over
And I knew it was over
All our friends knew it was over
Now just wake me when it's over
[Outro]
Yeah, eh, eh, eh eh eh
Yeah, eh, eh, eh eh eh
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
Sing it with me
La la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
About
The Dream dropped a surprise album “1977″ for free via his website
Hyper-talented R&B producer turned solo artist The Dream had a major breakthrough with last year’s much loved record “Love King.” While we wait for the latest in his pantheon of love-themed records (following “Love Hate,” Love vs. Money” and “Love King”) appropriately to be titled “The Love IV,” The Dream unexpectedly dropped a surprise record on his site last night
Credited under his birth name Terius Nash and titled “1977,” Nash’s birth year, the record appeared as a free download courtesy of The Dream’s label Radio Killa Records. Citing his imprint deal with Def Jam, Nash tweeted, “chances ‘DefJam’ puts a Cease and Desist on 1977 unfortunately Very High. but i think yall will have it before lawyers make me take it down.”
While it may not have love in the title, don’t be fooled—romance is still in the air on “1977.” One standout lyric from album opener: “I love the way you smell, but you’re always on some bullshit.” On a cursory first listen the album boasts a smooth, slightly mellower ballad-driven sound than “Love King,” with The Dream’s signature glossy crooning.
