I Wake Up Slow Lyrics by Dory Previn

We’re Children of Coincidence and Harpo Marx

1976

In the morning when I wake up I've got to take an easy pace
If the bed is unfamiliar the ceiling can be hard to face
If I ask you, Was I dreaming, don't be mad if I don't know
I ain't teasin', here's the reason - I wake up slow
In the morning when I wake up if I act like I'm alone
If I'm kind of hard to get to like a disconnected phone
If I ask you how I got here, don't be mad if I don't know
I ain't lyin', I'm just tryin' to wake up slow
Late last night you said you loved me
I thought you were just coming on
I thought, By tomorrow she'll have come and gone
She'll have gone and left me
If I wake up in the morning in an unfamiliar bed
And I have to face the ceiling and forget the things we said
If you move in my direction, don't be mad if I say, No
I ain't teasin', here's the reason - I wake up slow
