All through this long and sleepless night
|
I hear my neighbors talking, "She don't love him"
|
Saying that out of my life
|
Into another's arms, you'll soon be walking
|
|
Somebody shake me
|
Wake me, when it's over, when it's over
|
Somebody tell me that I'm dreamin'
|
And wake me when it's over, when it's over
|
|
They say our love ain't what it used to be
|
And everyone knows but me
|
I close my ears not wanting to hear
|
But the words are loud and clear
|
|
Through these walls so thin, I hear my neighbors when
|
They say, "She don't love him, she don't love him"
|
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, when it's over
|
And tell me that I'm dreamin'
|
And wake me when it's over, when it's over
|
|
Girl, you're what my heart desires
|
My whole world you inspire
|
I can't bear to be losing you
|
'Cause I've loved you my whole life through
|
|
Restlessly, I pace the floor
|
Listening to my neighbors criticize
|
What a fool I am not to realize
|
You don't want me by your side
|
|
As the tears stream down my face
|
I can't believe, I've been replaced
|
If I've ever ever dreamed before
|
Somebody tell me, I'm dreaming now
|
|
I said, shake me
|
Wake me somebody when it's over, when it's over
|
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
|
And wake me when it's over, when it's over
|
Come on and shake me, wake me somebody
|
When it's over
|
