(Uh...Ah...Uh...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
(Ah ah ah ah!)
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said don't love 'er
(He don't love 'er)
They say my heart's in danger
Cause you're leaving 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)
Am I dreaming? (Dreaming)
When it's over (When it's over)
You're just what my heart desires
My whole world you inspire
I can't bear I think I'm losing you
Cause I've loved you my whole life through
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said he don't love 'er
(He don't love 'er)
Oh no!
They say my heart's in danger
Cause you're leaving 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)
Am I 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...
