=============================
All through this long and sleep-less night
I hear my name was talk-ing
Stay-ing out of my life when
- a-noth-er's arms will soon be on me
Some-bo-dy shake me,
- Wake me... - when it's o-ver
- Some-bo-dy tell me - that I'm cra-zy
- And when it's o-ver
They say our love
ain't what it used to be
And eve-ry-one knows but me
- I close my ears,
not - want--ing to hear
- - words - of love - clear
- Through these walls so thin
I hear my neigh-bors when
they say that she don't love him
They say my hearts in pain
Be-cause you're leav-ing me
For the love that we ain't got
Some-bo-dy shake me,
- Wake me... - - - when it's o-ver
Some-bo-dy tell me - that I'm cra-zy
When it's o-ver
Tell me what my heart de-sires
- My whole world you in-spire
- I can't bear to be los-ing you
'Cause I've loved you
my whole life through
- INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
. . . . . . . .
It was me, - I wait-ed for - you
to speak my name and crit-i-cize
Now - - here I am - and I re-al-ize
That you don't want me by your side
The tears - creep down my face
- I can't be-lieve I'm do-ing right
If I ev-er ev-er dream be-fore
Some-bo-dy tell me I'm dream-ing now
Some-bo-dy shake me,
- Wake me... - - - when it's o-ver
Some-bo-dy tell me
Tell me that I'm cra-zy
And wake me when it's o-ver
C-'mon and wake me,
- shake me some-bo-dy when it's o-ver
C-'mon and shake me,
Wake me, - when it's o-ver
