Robert Palmer Woke Up Laughing
I ran to the window
As fast as could be
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were me
I thought I had lost everythin'
I found you instead
I feel fast asleep in your arms
I woke up in bed
I was waitin' for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face
On the tip of my tongue
Woke up laughing
And I broke into a sweat
And I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels
So I hired a gun
Woke up laughing
Woke up laughing
And you make yourself a fortune out in Hong Kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return, your home is blown away
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break?
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box
Woke up laughin'
Woke up laughin'
I ran to the window
As fast as could be
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were me
I thought I had lost everythin'
And found you instead
I feel fast asleep in your arms
I woke up in bed
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break?
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box
You make yourself a fortune out in Hong Kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return, your home is blown away
Woke up laughin'
Woke up laughin'
I was flat on my back
I was takin' a plunge
I was makin' a stand
But my plan was undone
Woke up laughin'
Well I planned an escape
For the middle of June
But I dug too fast
And I fired too soon
Woke up laughin'
Woke up laughin'
Woke up laughin'
Woke up laughin'
Woke up laughin'
Woke up laughin'
