Over My Shoulder - Mike & The Mechanics

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eyes

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say good bye

Looking back over my shoulder

With an aching deep in my heart

I wish we were starting over

Oh instead we're 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 eyes

Turning my heart over and over

I never wanted to say good bye

I don't mind everybody laughing

But it's enough to make an old man cry

'cause I can feel you're slipping through my fingers

I don't even know the reason why

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eyes

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say good bye

Everyday it's a losing battle

Just to smile and hold my head up high

Could it be we belong together

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

One more try

Looking back over my shoulder

There’s an aching feeling inside

Cutting me up, deeper and deeper

Fills me with a sadness that I can’t hide.
