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
