Lookin' 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.
I'm being shadowed by a shady stranger
Someone's always lookin' over my shoulder
I'm frightened just to walk around the corner
Your eyes upon me everywhere
I'd tell my friends but they're all losing temper
They keep on telling me I should know better
Sometimes I wonder if my mother sent you
She said she'd always be right there
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Another morning and I'm sure I saw you
Behind the bushes with a photo camera
My doctors tell me that it's paranoia
But I can't shake this feeling that you're there
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Now I go to sleeping now with one eye open
One of these days I'm gonna catch you lurking
Behind the curtains with evil intentions
But I can't get away from my own mind
I'm being shadowed by a shady stranger
(Feels like)
Someone's always lookin' over my shoulder
(So scared)
I'm frightened just to walk around the corner
(Last night)
Your eyes upon me everywhere
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
