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

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

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
