Maroon 5 - Wake Up Call at Alaeddin’s Blog

Since getting hooked on their popular single, She Will Be Loved, from their debut album, I’ve been kind of a fan of some of Maroon5’s work ever since. Even though I don’t necessarily agree with how far they take their songs with explicit lyrics and musical videos, I’m simply a fan of their soulful pop-rock sound and lead singer Adam Levine’s unique vocal abilities.

Wake Up A Call is the second single from their follow up second album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, which details the response to catching one’s lover with another and the accompanying lack of remorse for actions taken. In the song’s video, designed as a film trailer, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine pays for his murderous response.

Even though the insistent, pounding, keyboard-centered soul-rock approach of the music fits the lyrical intensity of the song well, the question I’m left with is whether Wake Up Call unnecessarily glorifies the violent content of both song and video.

In any case, the song’s still so catchy it gets in your head the first time you hear it!

Lyrics

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

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 think so

Would’ve 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 you’re lovers screaming loudly
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

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 [Repeat]

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
