When I Look in Your Eyes Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey
Uh-huh
Well, all right
How y'all doing?
Yes, ma'am
Looking mighty fine

[Verse 1]
I've been around the world
Seen so many pretty girls
But I still get overwhelmed
When I look in your eyes

[Verse 2]
Been from Maine to Spain
But everything seems the same
I only feel the change
When I look in your eyes

[Bridge 1]
I know you're upper-class
I know you've got pizzazz
Every man wanna kiss yo'...
And I do too
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I'm just a clown
And everybody puts me down
I guess I'll come around
When I look in your eyes

[Verse 4]
Tell me what's a man to do
To get close to you
I'm just a lonely fool
When I look in your eyes

[Bridge 2]
Don't tell me no this time
If you do, it'll blow my mind
Have you ever seen a grown man cry?
It's an awful thing

[Verse 5]
I guess it's time to say goodbye
But I gotta give it one more try
I'm only satisfied
When I look in your eyes

[Bridge 3]
Ooh, please come home with me
Ooh, don't you wanna marry me?
I'm even gonna rub your feet
When they stink
(How can...)
[Verse 6]
How can I let you down?
I guess I'm always gonna be around
I'm simply astounded
When I look in your eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
