Over My Shoulder - Paul Carrack

Yeah, looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye

Looking back over my shoulder

With an aching deep in my heart

I wish we were starting over

Oh, instead of drifting so far apart

Everybody told me you were leaving

Funny I should be the last to know

Baby, please tell me that I’m dreaming

I just never want to let you go

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

Turning my heart over and over

I never wanted to say goodbye

I don’t mind everybody laughing

But it’s enough to make a grown man cry

'Cause I can feel you slipping through my fingers

I don’t even know the reason why

Everyday, it’s a losing battle

Just to smile and hold my head up high

Could it be that we belong together

Baby, won’t you give me one more try, one more try?

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed it could be over

But I never wanted to say goodbye

Looking back over my shoulder

Oh, with an aching feeling inside

Cutting me up, oh, deeper and deeper

Fills me with a sadness that I can’t hide

Looking back, looking back over my shoulder
