Lyrics

Man, I just don't know what I'm gonna do (What you gonna do, Joey?) You know, this woman is just about to drive me crazy But on the other hand, you know we got a good thing going She just needs to loosen her grip Let me tell you about one of our one-way conversations Now this is her talking It's kinda late to be out hanging with so-called homie friends (It's 2 AM, you tell me what's happening) Baby, where you been? Doesn't your cell phone work? This has got to end If you would only make a simple call So I won't worry every hour or so Guess you just don't care Because you know how to make my feelings below (Oh yeah, you know how to make me go) And I can tell you're on the phone to some Young peppy floozy by the way you talk If she is all that, why don't you give it to her? Babe, we need to talk Do you believe everything you're saying? Jealousy has a way of threatening everything good You better wake up, smell the coffee Girl, 'cause you ain't got very long Wake up, smell the coffee 'Cause in a page you know I'll be gone The truth is one thing but a lie is another You don't seem to know one from the other Better wake up, lady The hourglass is moving on Wake up Y'all understand what I'm saying, alright? Smell it Wake up, smell the coffee Smell it I know he did not tell me to wake up and smell somebody's coffee I don't know who you think you talking to but it ain't me When I'm on the road You always bug me before I hit the stage Accusing me of one thing or another Put me in a rage I think you need to look within yourself To find what's caused this jealousy in me Every girl I call is not the enemy That would be insane Behind my back you're talking on the phone To so-called girlfriends checking if I cheat ('Cause you can't be trusted) You lie that half the things You say I do with baby when I sleep All you gotta do is lighten up And be more positive, start to use your head If you keep this up I'll have no choice but to look for someone else (Well gone, you ain't gonna let me Try to write that, you can say that) You can believe everything you're saying You know that jealousy has a way of threatening everything good You better wake up, smell the coffee Girl, 'cause you ain't got very long Wake up, smell the coffee 'Cause in a page you know I'll be gone The truth is one thing but a lie is another You don't seem to know one from the other Better wake up, lady The hourglass is moving on Wake up You won't be saying all this when you get home now, will you? Smell it Wake up, smell the coffee Smell it Any suggestions? (Oh yeah, I got it, yeah) Well I know one thing The girl better get with me quick There is no way that your battery went out on your cell phone I ain't even trying to hear that You told me that three days ago Come up with another line Smell it Wake up, smell the coffee (And I know you got access to a phone 'Cause every Time I call it seem like your number is busy) Wake up, smell the coffee Wake up Wake up, smell the coffee Wake up Wake up
