  • Now I got cars, now I got clothes, now I got money
    Now I got crowds screamin' my name sayin' they love me
    You get real close, say I'm not alone, you understand me
    But late at night, when I close my eyes, the quiet scares me

    Will you still care in the morning?
    When the magic's gone, gone, oh?
    And will you be there in the morning?
    Do you stay when it all goes?
    Or will I wake up alone?

    Wake up alone
    Wake up alone

    I don't need cars, I don't need clothes, forget that money
    'Cause if I go home all on my own, it ain't worth nothing

    Will you still care in the morning? (When the magic's all gone?)
    When the magic's gone, gone, oh?
    And will you be there in the morning?
    Do you stay when it all goes?
    Or will I wake up alone?

    Wake up alone
    Wake up alone
    Wake up alone
    Wake up alone

    Will you still care in the morning?
    When the magic's gone, gone, oh?
    And will you be there in the morning?
    Do you stay when it all goes?
    Or will I wake up alone?

    Wake up alone
    Wake up alone, yeah
    Wake up alone
    Or will I wake up alone? Writer/s: Andrew Taggart, Emily Schwartz, Scott Harris Friedman
