I'll Look Over You

(Merle Haggard)



I'll look over things you do because I love you so

And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play

It's your life to live the way you want to live

And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay.



It's no fault of yours if I can't give the thrill you need

And I know someday you'll find someone who can

Though it hurts to see you stare at every guy you see

I'll look over you and try to understand.



I'll look over things you do because I love you so

And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play

It's your life to live the way you want to live

And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay...
