If I'm calling you out of the blue
it's because it's never ending
and if I'm dragging out picture of you
it's because I'm only pretending
and if I'm looking over my shoulder
it's just because I hope you'll be there
and if I'm looking older and older
it's because I know I haven't a prayer.
When I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
it wears out after a fashion
and I'm finding it hard to believe
your whole-hearted lack of compassion
and if I'm looking over my shoulder
it's just because I hope you'll be there
and if I'm looking older and older
it's 'cause I know I haven't a pray
