Lyrics
Well, have you seen that girl in the corner?
I’d like to take her out of her chains
‘Cause if I have my way with you, baby
I would be changin’ your life today
Your eyes got me dreamin’
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin’
That I’ll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin’
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin’
That I’ll be holding you close tonight
She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her, I learned
That she was keepin’ a secret fire
And if I got real close, I’d burn
So, it looked like I had to move slowly
Like a cat at night in the trees
‘Cause I was waiting for her to show me
The way that she liked her love to feel
Your eyes got me dreamin’
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin’
That I’ll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin’
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin’
That I’ll be holding you close tonight
Ebony eyes
Ebony eyes
Ebony eyes
Ebony eyes
Your eyes got me dreamin’
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin’
That I’ll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin’
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin’
That I’ll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin’
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin’
That I’ll be holding you close tonight
