Shake Me, Wake Me (WhenIt`s Over) — текст песни (Supremes, The)

(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
