Lyrics The Four Tops

The Four Tops

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

All through this long and sleepless night

I hear my neighbors talking, "She don't love him"

Saying that out of my life

Into another's arms, you'll soon be walking

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 him, she don't love him"

They say my heart's in danger

'Cause you're leaving me for the love of a stranger

Somebody shake me

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 my heart desires

My whole world you inspire

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 neighbor's 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've ever ever dreamed before

Somebody tell me, I'm dreaming now

I said, shake me

Wake me somebody when it's over, when it's over

Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming

And wake me when it's over, when it's over

Come on and shake me, wake me somebody

When it's over
