Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over) - Al Wilson

All through this long and sleepless night

I hear my neighbors talking

They saying that out of my life

into another’s arms

there you’ll soon be walking

Somebody shake me

come on and wake me

when it’s over

I want you to tell me

that I’m dreaming

just 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 that 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

come on and wake me

and tell me when it’s over

I want you to tell me

tell me that I’m dreaming

and wake me when it’s over

Ooh girl, you’re my heart desires

and my whole world you’ve inspired

I can’t bear to be losing you

'Cause I’ve loved you my whole life through

Through these walls so thin

I hear my neighbors when

they say that she don’t love him

They say my heart’s in danger

'Cause you’re leaving me

for the love of a stranger

Ooh, somebody shake me

come on and wake me

and tell me when it’s over

I want you to tell me

tell me that I’m dreaming

and wake me when it’s over

Oh yeah, come on and shake me

Ooh, yeah wake me somebody

tell me when it’s over, yeah yeah
