About When I Looked at Him

"When I Looked at Him" is a song recorded by American girl group Exposé for their second studio album What You Don't Know (1989). It was released on August 19, 1989 as the second single from the album. It was written and produced by the group's founder, Lewis Martineé and lead vocals on the track were sung by Jeanette Jurado. The song is a pensive ballad closer in form and structure to the group's number-one hit "Seasons Change" than to many of their more dance-oriented songs. Still, an extended "Suave Mix" appeared on the CD version of What You Don't Know, and an acoustic version of this mix was included as the B-side to the single.

I've never known someone before
Who feels the way you do
All my dreams somehow became true with you
And I've never wanted someone more
As much as I want you
Love will last forever it's true with you
I will always fear awaking in the night
And not having you by my side

It's not a dream
We all need love and understanding
We must break thru
And make a love that's everlasting
We'll be as one/I can see it in your eyes

When I looked at him and he turned to me
He said you're more than a friend to love to need
When I looked at him it's love eternally

They say I should be acting cool
They tell me I'm a fool
They don't see the things I see in you

Don't say good-bye/It would tear in two my heart
The time is right/We could never be apart
We'll be as one I can see it in your eyes

When I looked at him and he turned to me
He said you're more than a friend to love to need
When I looked at him it's love eternally

It's not a dream
We all need love and understanding
We must break thru
And make a love that's everlasting
We'll be as one/I can see it in your eyes

When I looked at him and he turned to me
He said you're more than a friend to love to need
When I looked at him it's love eternally
