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
