Baby woke up
Cryin' last night
Lately she been thinkin'
I don't treat her alright
Baby woke up
From cryin' in her sleep
I listened to her restless sound
She didn't get to sleep too deep
Baby woke up

Had a hard time fallin' outta my bed this morning
Didn't get no sleep
I been sittin' here thinkin'
You don't care about me

Baby woke up
Wrestlin' with her angels
Listening to the demons say
She ain't in love with me no more

Baby woke up
Wishin' no one was home
I'm sleepin' in her bed
Out cold like a stone
Baby woke up

I had a hard time gettin' outta my bed this morning
Didn't get no sleep at all
I been sittin' here thinkin'
You don't care about me

Baby woke up
Baby woke up
Hey hey

Had a hard time fallin' outta my bed this morning
Didn't get no sleep, no sleep

Baby woke up
Baby woke up
Baby woke up

Cryin' in the night again
Baby woke up

Song's melody keeps threatening to break into "Milk" by Garbage.

If I had Pritzker money, I'd make music.

I've never seen the phrases "Motown soul", "funk guitar", and "Grateful Dead" in the same sentence before.
 
Funny...and me neither until recently when I saw that sentence twice in one day!!  Gonna +1 to 9, due to the Funkiness, not the GD'ness….LLRP!!

This band rocks! Saw them several times in the 90's and was blown away. First 2 albums are excellent start to finish. Highly recommended.

Kind of a cool motown soul with a nice funk guitar (reminds me a bit of the Grateful Dead at times!), fab vocals.

I always loved their bluesy lazy NO sound.  Great band out of Chi-Town.  They have some super funky rockers.

Awesome to hear SD! This is agreat and funky tune.

My fav track is "Lover" from their 1st full album.  Different and great, and holds a very important set of memories for me and the mid to late 90s.

I think I remember something about the front man having a huge trust account he used to have a band, anyone know what ever happened to them? 

 
Daniel Pritzker - from the Hyatt hotels family.

 
Yes...that's right....it's slowly coming back to me.

And I'd love if someone else would try to submit "Lover (We don't treat each other no good no more)" maybe it's the bad grammar, but when I tried to submit the song it was auto-denied.  And it's a freaking great "break-up" song!

Great Chicago-based band!

Their first album is worth checking out.

Edit - I mistakenly listed "Lover" as my favorite track from their debut; really it's "You Don't Treat Me No Good."  I tried to add to the RP list and it was rejected immediately.  I guess I'll have to go digging through my CDs and re-rip that sucker!  Great funky beat all the same.

Long Live RP!

This was a hot band for awhile. They toured, got radio play, and was on TV. 

But then they disappeared. Go figure.

Dumb lyrics... "Baby woke up"..."didn't get no sleep"... Who cares? Good groove musically though.

 
Um… I think the 'woke up' thing is a metaphor.  You know (or not) about those subtle realizations...

I'm just sayin'

How does this only rate a 6.5 average?  Sonia Dada is such a great groove, and this is one of the few places you can still hear them in rotation.

Sounds like the love child of Frank Zappa and Sade, by way of Aretha Franklin. (Not sure I want to visualize that, having said it.)

Another choice groove on RP. Bill\'s getting a funk thing going on. Loving this track and expect it\'ll be everywhere before long. But very fresh on the first listen.

More Sonia Dada! I\'ve seen them live 3 times and I\'ve never actually heard this song. Good job!
