The Eyes of Desire

| [VERSE 1] |
| There's a boy of eighteen out behind a movie screen |
| Got his girlfriend in his arms |
| He begins to feel the heat, from his head to feet |
| That is spreading from her country charms |
| [VERSE 2] |
| Every move she's making, gets his hands to knees to shaking |
| And he knows he couldn't get much higher |
| Cause he's seeing first hand, how a boy becomes a man |
| When he stares into the eyes of desire |
| [CHORUS] |
| When the passion starts burning, the world starts turning |
| Around, you'd better hold on tight |
| Add some genuine emotion, you can part a mighty ocean |
| Ole Moses, don't you know he must have seen the light |
| The windows of the soul can make a man lose control |
| When he's holding on a real live wire |
| Never be the same, once you step into the flame |
| Beware of the eyes of desire |
| [VERSE 3] |
| All the blinking and the winking keeps a man from really thinking |
| Makes it hard to tell wrong from right |
| I'll bet Adam said to Eve, girl I see you don't believe |
| Won't you give me just another bite |
| [VERSE 4] |
| Cause the eyes can hypnotize, tantalize, and mesmerize |
| Make you hotter than a blazing fire |
| If you can't appreciate, then never underestimate |
| The power of the eyes of desire |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
