Lyrics
Song - In Her Eyes.
Why does it happen to me, that I want what I can't have,
What seems a bright idea, often leaves me feelin' sad.
I met her two months ago, while shopping in the mall,
She keeps on patronizing me and I'm feelin' rather small.
(chorus)
That girl's got...raven hair, eyes of blue, lips like cherry wine,
I know she'd break my heart in two if I tried to make her mine.
Now I can't help the way I feel,
I'm burnin' up inside,
How I'd treat her like a queen, but I'm the joker in her eyes.
No matter what I'd say or do she wouldn't give a damn,
In fact she'd probably laugh aloud at my attempt again.
Sometimes I wanna scold myself for bein' such a fool,
I feel like I've failed the grade and been taken back to school.
(chorus)
That girl's got...raven hair, eyes of blue, lips like cherry wine,
I know she'd break my heart in two if I tried to make her mine.
Now I can't help the way I feel, I'm burnin' up inside,
How I'd treat her like a queen, but I'm the joker in her eyes.
(bridge)
Perhaps I should just give it up, perhaps I shouldn't dream,
Maybe I should look for love, with real sincerity.
(instrumental)
(chorus)
That girl's got...raven hair, eyes of blue, lips like cherry wine,
I know she'd break my heart in two if I tried to make her mine.
Now I can't help the way I feel, I'm burnin' up inside,
How I'd treat her like a queen, but I'm the joker in her eyes.
Yeah I'd treat her like a queen, but I'm the joker in her eyes.
