I’M LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER FOR YOU

Ralph McTell

I’m looking over my shoulder for you
I keep a mirror in my pocket
So that I can sneak a backward view
I’m scared out of my life
In my boot I keep a switch blade knife
I’m looking over my shoulder for you
Since I heard what she planned to do
I’m looking over my shoulder for you.

I keep a mirror in my pocket
So that I can sneak a backward view
I was just having a bit of fun
She thought a love affair had begun
I’m looking over my shoulder
Since I heard what she planned to do.
Hell don’t have no fury
Like a woman that’s been done wrong
I was just having a little bit of fun
She said I was stringing her along
I’m looking over my shoulder for you.

I keep a mirror in my pocket
So that I can sneak a backward view
I don’t walk down any dark streets
I’m scared of who I might happen to meet
I’m looking over my shoulder
Since I heard what she planned to do.
Hell don’t have no fury
Like a woman that’s been done wrong
I was just having a little bit of fun
She said I was stringing her along

I fear the change you may be going through.

Chorus.
