Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over)
All through this long and sleepless night
I hear my neighbors talking
Sayin' out of my life
Into another’s arms
He'll soon be walking
Somebody shake me, wake me, somebody
When it's over
Somebody tell me that I’m dreaming
And wake me, when it's over
Oh, they say your love ain't what it used to be
And everyone knows but me
I close my ears not wanting to hear
The words are loud and clear
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said "He don't love her" (He don't love her)
They say my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leaving me
For the love of a stranger
Somebody shake me, wake me, somebody
When it’s over
Somebody tell me that I’m dreaming
And wake me, when it's over
Oh boy, you were my heart’s desire
My whole world you inspire
I can't bear to losing you
'Cause I've loved you my whole life through
Restlessly, I pace the floor
Listenin’ to my neighbors criticize
What a fool I am not to realize
You don't want me by your side
And the tears stream down my face
I can't believe I've been replaced
I can't bear to losing you
'Cause I've loved you my whole life through
Somebody shake me, wake me, somebody
When it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
And wake me, when it's over
Somebody shake me, wake me, somebody
When it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
And wake me, when it's over
