Over My Shoulder
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Every day 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, oh, over my shoulder
(I can see) see that look in your eye
(I never dreamed) it could be over
But I never wanted to say goodbye
(Looking back) looking back (over my shoulder)
Oh, with an aching (there's an aching) feeling inside
(Cutting me up) oh, deeper and deeper
(Fills me with a sadness) I can't hide (I can't hide)
(Looking back) oh, over my shoulder (over my shoulder)
