Looking Over My Shoulder - Lance Alworth

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.
