Ali Mandelbaum - In The Eye lyrics

rate me

I took a seat I took a breath

He knew that I was scared to death

I laughed and shook his hand and cleared my throat

I told him that I'd followed him around this town for weeks

But I was just too scared to let him know

Chorus

And I said

I can't look into eye

My gaze is set on the floor

And I have let life pass me by

But I won’t anymore

I said I'd seen him here before

At least a dozen times or more

But I never had the nerve to say hello

Today I thought I'd take a chance

And see if he might like to dance

He picked me up and walked me to the floor

Chorus

And I said

I can't look you in the eye

My gaze is set on the floor

And I have always been too shy

But I'm not anymore

As soon as he started moving in

I really felt my life begin

So many've passed my way before

But he was one worth waiting for

Na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Like a prize I'd never win

Into my eyes he looked right in

You're beautiful he said he probably lied

If I had thought that’s what he thought I would've said hello

And I would not have wasted so much precious time

Chorus

And I said

I can't look into eye

My gaze is set on the floor

And I have let life pass me by

But I won’t anymore
