Wide Awake - Rahsaan Patterson

It’s not easy, child

With the weight of the world above my head

Comin' out of space, on a downer

Can you lead me up?

Your face is on the cover of my dreams all day

And the taste of bitter Wednesday

In case you wanna give your heart away

Here’s a piece of my soul you can take

Something about the flavor on your table

Is keeping me wide awake

Whenever you’re ready, I’m willing and able

To keep you wide awake

Something about the way you call me «angel»

Makes me feel heavenly

However you want it, in any angle

I’ll keep you wide awake

Tell me, can you feel it?

(Hoo, can you feel it?)

Feel it growing inside (Growing inside)

Tell me, can you feel it?

(Hoo, can you feel it?)

Growing inside

Your face is on the cover of my dreams all day (All day)

And the taste of bitter Wednesday (Let me taste it, baby, yeah)

In case you wanna give your heart away (Mmm, wanna, ooh)

Here’s a piece of my soul you can take

Something about the flavor on your table

Is keeping me wide awake (Keeping me wide)

Whenever you’re ready, I’m willing and able (I'm willing, yes)

To keep you wide awake

Something about the way you call me «angel»

Makes me feel heavenly (Mmm, baby)

However you want it, in any angle (Ooh)

I’ll keep you wide awake

Yeah, want it

Want it

Keep you wide, pretty wide

Mmm, no, no

Oh, oh, ooh, mmm

Good love to make

Good love to make tonight some day

With my baby, you wait

Good love (Good love) to make (To make)

Tonight (Tonight) some day (Some day)

With my (With my) baby (Baby), you wait

Keeping you wide awake (Babe)

Keeping you, keeping you, yeah

Something about the flavor on your table

Is keeping me wide awake (You, you)

Whenever you’re ready, I’m willing and able

To keep you wide awake (Oh)

Something about the way you call me «angel» (Ooh)

Makes me feel heavenly (Oh no)

However you want it, in any angle

I’ll keep you wide awake (No, woah)

Want it

Keep you wide, pretty wide

Keep you wide
