shake me wake me whenit s over

The Supremes

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
