(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...

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
