Woke Up Laughing

Woke Up Laughing (Sweet Lies/Soundtrack Version) - Robert Palmer

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'
