Over My Shoulder Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Whistling]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 1]
Looking back over my shoulder (Over my shoulder)
(I can see) See that look in your eye (That look in your eye)
(I never dreamed) It could be over (It could be over)
But I never wanted to say goodbye (But I never wanted to say goodbye)

[Chorus 2]
(Looking back) Looking back (Over my shoulder)
Oh, with an aching (There's an aching) Feeling inside (Feeling inside)
(Cutting me up) Oh, deeper and deeper (Deeper and deeper)
(Fills me with a sadness) I can't hide (I can't hide)
(Looking back) Over my shoulder (Over my shoulder)

What did Mike + the Mechanics say about "Over My Shoulder"?

Mike Rutherford via Songfacts

It was a huge hit in Europe and didn’t quite happen in America. It’s a sort of silly song, because there’re nothing much to it. It’s more about the drum machine and the guitars and the sound because the words are a little sad actually. But the song doesn’t feel sad. Wh...

What made them decide to do that whistling section?

Mike Rutherford revealed that this wasn’t planned:

Paul Carrack did it when we recorded it, thinking that he whistles where the solo will be – the guitar solo or saxophone. He thought, I’ll whistle now and then we’ll put an instrument playing the solo. I said, “Sounds great.” And we kept it, to his...
