LOOKING OVER OUR SHOULDERS
(Joe Gibson / Geoff Stephens)


LaWanda Lindsey & Kenny Vernon - 1970



BOTH:
Looking over our shoulders everywhere we go
So afraid that we'll be seen by someone that we know
Then we're in double trouble, for we live a double life
Looking over our shoulders 
LL: for my husband  KV: and my wife

LL:
I guess we're no better than two common thieves
Though it's love not money that we steal
KV:
So when we run and hide to meet each other
Doubts and fears are always at our heel

BOTH:
Looking over our shoulders everywhere we go
So afraid that we'll be seen by someone that we know
Then we're in double trouble, for we live a double life
Looking over our shoulders 
LL: for my husband  KV: and my wife

LL:
Though we try to tell ourselves that we're not wrong
And we have to think about the kids
KV:
And it's a poor excuse, for we knew all alone
It's not right to steal the way we did

BOTH:
Looking over our shoulders everywhere we go
So afraid that we'll be seen by someone that we know
Then we're in double trouble, for we live a double life
Looking over our shoulders 
LL: for my husband  KV: and my wife
