The Supremes

The Supremes - Shake Me, Wake Me (WhenIt's Over) lyrics

rate me

(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)

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
