I am looking at your alluring eyes Soft and beautiful rolling eyes Eyes that tease and irritate I can be patient with you In spite of your proud ways My mind is made up to court you Don’t deny me of what I want My desire is to love you I looked up into your lovely eyes There’s softness and gentleness In your brown eyes of love Keep that love of ours My song is now ended Soft and beautiful rolling eyes Eyes that tease and irritate I can be patient with you |
