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 prayer
