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
