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

The Four Tops · Other Songs - The Four Tops

All through this long

& 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'

& wake me when it's over

(When it's over)



They say our love ain't what it used to be

& everyone knows but me

I close my ears, not wanting to hear,

But the words are loud & 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)

& tell me

That I'm dreamin'

& 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



& then shake me,

Wake me, somebody

When it's over

(When it's over)

Somebody tell me

Tell me that I'm dreamin'

& wake me when it's over

(When it's over)

Come on & shake me,

Wake me, somebody

When it's over

(When it's over)
