Mike + the Mechanics

Mike and the Mechanics (stylised as Mike + The Mechanics) are an English rock supergroup formed in Dover in 1985 by Mike Rutherford, initially as a side project during a hiatus period for his other group Genesis. The band are known for the hit singles "Silent Running", "All I Need Is a Miracle", "Taken In", "The Living Years", "Word of Mouth", and "Over My Shoulder". Initially, the band included Rutherford (the only constant member), vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young, keyboardist Adrian Lee, and drummer Peter Van Hooke.

Yeah
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

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

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

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

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

Everyday, 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?
one more try

Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye (see that look in your eye)
I never dreamed it could be over
But I never wanted to say goodbye

Looking back over my shoulder (looking back)
Oh, with an aching (there's an ache feeling inside)
Cutting me up, oh, deeper and deeper
Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide
Looking back, looking back over my shoulder
