All through this long and sleepless night, I hear my neighbors talking
Sayin' out of my life and to another's arms, you'll soon be walkin'
Somebody shake me, wake me, when it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreamin', and wake me when it's over
They say I'm lovin' 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 win, they say he don't love her
They say my heart's in danger, cause you're leavin' me for the love of a stranger
Somebody shake me, wake me, when it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreamin', 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 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 dreamin' now
And then shake me, wake me, somebody, when it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreamin', and wake me when it's over
Somebody shake me, wake me, somebody, when it's over
