Shake Me, Wake Me
Barbra Streisand · Other Songs - Barbra Streisand
(Please, shake me baby)
All through this long and sleepless night
I hear my neighbors talking
(He don't love 'er)
Sayin' right out of my life
Into another's arms
He'll soon be walkin'
(Soon be walkin')
Somebody shake me
(Shake me)
Wake me
(Wake me)
When it's over
(When it's over)
Somebody tell me
(Tell me)
Am I dreaming?
(Dreaming)
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 eyes not wanting to hear
But the words are loud and clear
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said, "He don't love 'er"
(He don't love 'er)
They say, my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leavin' me
For the love of a stranger
(Love of a stranger)
Somebody shake me
(Shake me)
Wake me
(Wake me)
When it's over
(When it's over)
Somebody tell me
(Tell me)
That I'm dreaming?
(Dreaming)
When it's over
(When it's over)
You're just what my heart desires
My whole world you've inspired
Oh, I can't bear, I think I'm losin' you
'Cause I've loved you my whole life through
These walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said
(He don't love 'er)
Oh no
They say my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leavin' me
For the love of a stranger
(Love of a stranger)
Somebody shake me
(Wake me)
Oh, shake me
(Wake me)
Shake me
(Shake me)
Shake me
(Shake me)
Shake me
(Shake me)
Oh, somebody
(Wake me)
When it's over
(When it's over)
Somebody tell me
(Tell me)
Dreaming?
(Dreaming)
When it's over
(When it's over)
Somebody wake me
(Shake me)
Wake me, shake me
(Shake me)
Wake me, shake me
(Wake me)
When it's over
(When it's over)
(Wake me, shake me)
Shake me somebody
Tell me that I'm dreaming
All through this long and sleepless night
I hear my neighbors talking
(He don't love 'er)
Sayin' right out of my life
Into another's arms
He'll soon be walkin'
(Soon be walkin')
Somebody shake me
(Shake me)
Wake me
(Wake me)
When it's over
(When it's over)
Somebody tell me
(Tell me)
Am I dreaming?
(Dreaming)
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 eyes not wanting to hear
But the words are loud and clear
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said, "He don't love 'er"
(He don't love 'er)
They say, my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leavin' me
For the love of a stranger
(Love of a stranger)
Somebody shake me
(Shake me)
Wake me
(Wake me)
When it's over
