Looking Over My Shoulder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I'm calling you out of the blue
It's because it's never-ending
And if I'm dragging out pictures of you
It's because I'm only pretending

[Chorus]
And if I'm looking over my shoulder
It's just because I hope you'll be there
And if I'm looking older and older
It's 'cause I know I haven't a prayer

[Verse 2]
When I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
It wears out after a fashion
Oh and I'm finding it hard to believe
Your whole-hearted lack of compassion

[Chorus]
And if I'm looking over my shoulder
It's just because I hope you'll be there
And if I'm looking older and older
It's 'cause I know I haven't a prayer

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And if I'm looking over my shoulder
It's just because I hope you'll be there
And if I'm looking older and older
It's 'cause I know I haven't a prayer

[Outro]
And if I'm looking over my shoulder
It's just because I hope you'll be there
And if I'm looking older and older
It's 'cause I know I haven't a prayer

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
