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 changing 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 like 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
