Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over) Songtext

von The Four Tops

All through this long
And sleepless night
I hear my neighbors talkin'
(She don't love you)
Sayin' that out of my life
Into another's arms
You'll soon be walkin'

Somebody shake me,
Wake me
When it's over
(When it's over)
Somebody tell me
That I'm dreamin'
And wake me when it's over
(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
(She don't love you,
She don't love you)
They say my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leavin' me
For the love of a stranger

Somebody shake me, c'mon
Wake me, somebody
When it's over
(When it's over)
And tell me
That I'm dreamin'
And wake me when it's over
(When it's over)

Girl, you're what the 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 (Shake me)
I pace the floor (Wake me)
Listenin' to my name
While it's criticized
What a fool I am
Not to realize
You don't want me by your side

As the tears creep down my face
I can't believe I've been replaced
If I've ever, ever dreamed before,
Somebody tell me I'm dreaming now

And then shake me,
Wake me, somebody
When it's over
(When it's over)
Somebody tell me
Tell me that I'm dreamin'
And wake me when it's over
(When it's over)
Come on and shake me,
Wake me, somebody
When it's over
(When it's over)
