All through this long and sleepless night, I hear my neighbors talking
Saying out of my life and to 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 my love ain't what it used to be, and everyone knows for me
I close my ears, not wanting to hear, but the words I love and care
Through these walls sleeping, 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 my heart's desire, 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 door, listening to my neighbors criticize
What I tell them, 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
Somebody shake me, wake me, somebody, when it's over
