Girl, you're lookin' so good tonight And every guy has got you in his sights What you're doin' with a clown like me? You know I've been called worse It's got to be one of life's little mysteries So tonight I'll ask the stars above How did I ever win your love, yeah What did I do, what did I say To turn your angel eyes my way? You know I'm the guy who never learned to dance Never even got one second glance I never saw a second glance Way across a crowded room was close enough I could look but I could never touch So tonight I'll ask the stars above, yeah Baby, how did I ever win your love? What did I do, what did I say To turn your angel eyes my way? Don't anyone wake me, if it's just a dream 'Cause she's the best thing that's ever happened to me All you fellows, you can stare at her all you like But this girl that you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight There's just one more little thing that I need to know If this is love, why does it scare me so? Well, it must be somethin' that only you can see 'Cause I can feel it, baby, when you look at me So tonight I'll ask all the stars above How did I ever win your love? What did I do, what did I say To turn your angel eyes my way? Turn my way
