Lookin' Over My Shoulder
I

Are you lookin' - over my shoulder,
When I'm dancin' - with you,
Is there - a danger,
You'll find - someone new.

II

Is it the tall - dark stranger,
Who catches - your eyes,
He seems to be - watchin',
Every time - we dance by.

Chorus .....

Oh you looked at him - when he walked in the door,
I turned my head - so I wouldn't see more,
He smiled at you - and I knew then,
Something would happen - but I didn't know when.

III

Now the music's - playin' once more,
We dance as he - walks cross the floor,
He taps my shoulder - says pardon me friend,
May I have this dance - until the end.

IV

What could I say - what could I do,
It's lady's choice - I know it's true,
Lookin' over my shoulder - I see you with him,
Now you're dancin' - and dancin' again.


Chorus .....

Oh you looked at him - when he walked in the door,
I turned my head - so I wouldn't see more,
He smiled at you - and I knew then,
Something would happen - but I didn't know when.

Musical Break .....

V

Oh I guess it's the - outside that counts,
For now you've - found your next mount,
But when he tires of - your rock and roll,
It's out the door - he'll go.

Close .....

Then you'll know - what it means,
To fall apart - at the seams,
Lookin' over your shoulder - as your hurtin' begins,
Over and over again.

Tag .....

Over and over - and over again.
