All through this long and sleepless night
|
I hear my neighbors talking
|
Saying that out of my life into another's arms
|
You'll soon be walking
|
|
Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over
|
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
|
And wake me 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
|
"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 when it's over
|
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
|
And wake me when it's over
|
|
Boy, you're what my heart desires
|
My whole world you've inspired
|
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 ever had a dream before
|
Somebody tell me I'm dreaming now
|
|
And then shake me, wake me
|
Somebody when it's over
|
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
|
And wake me when it's over
|
