I was sitting all alone
Watching people get it on
With each other
They were dancin cross the floor
Turning, moving back and forth
They were lovers
One more lonely night for me
I looked up, what did I see?

Sexy eyes, movin cross the floor
Got me wantin more, sexy eyes (sexy)
Sexy eyes, gettin down with you
I want to move with you, sexy eyes

I got up and took your hand
And we both began to dance to the music
Ooh, your magic cast a spell
It didn't take long till we fell
And we knew it
No more lonely nights for me
This is how it's gonna be

Sexy eyes, move across the floor
Got me wantin more, sexy eyes (sexy)
Sexy eyes, gettin down with you
I want to move with you, sexy eyes

No more lonely nights for me
This is how it's gonna be
Sexy eyes, movin cross the floor
Got me wantin more, sexy eyes (sexy)
Sexy eyes, gettin down with you
I want to move with you, sexy eyes

Sexy eyes, gettin down with you
I want to move with you, sexy eyes
Sexy eyes, gettin down with you
I want to move with you, sexy eyes
