Supremes - Shake Me, Wake Me lyrics

rate me

(b. holland/l. dozier/e. holland, jr.)<br />

<br />

All through this long and sleepless night<br />

I hear my neighbors talking<br />

Saying that out of my life into another's arms<br />

You'll soon be walking<br />

<br />

Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over<br />

Somebody tell me that i'm dreaming<br />

And wake me when it's over<br />

<br />

They say our love ain't what it used to be<br />

And everyone knows but me<br />

I close my ears not wanting to hear<br />

But the words are loud and clear<br />

<br />

Through these walls so thin<br />

I hear my neighbors when they say<br />

"he don't love her"<br />

They say my heart's in danger<br />

'cause you're leaving me<br />

For the love of a stranger<br />

<br />

Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over<br />

Somebody tell me that i'm dreaming<br />

And wake me when it's over<br />

<br />

Boy, you're what my heart desires<br />

My whole world you've inspired<br />

I can't bear to be losing you<br />

'cause i've loved you my whole life through<br />

<br />

Restlessly<br />

I pace the floor<br />

Listening to my neighbors criticize<br />

What a fool i am not to realize<br />

You don't want me by your side<br />

As the tears stream down my face<br />

I can't believe i've been replaced<br />

If i ever had a dream before<br />

Somebody tell me i'm dreaming now<br />

<br />

And then shake me, wake me<br />

Somebody when it's over<br />

Somebody tell me that i'm dreaming<br />

And wake me when it's over
