Dorothy Dandridge Eyes |
Looking out the corner of her eye |
As she sits alone and drinks her wine |
Every man just wants to pass her by |
In hopes that he can catch her eye |
That glow that’s in her eye |
Gives you visions in your mind |
She’s from another space and time |
That’s when you’ll know you’re hypnotized |
Her intoxicating will not be denied |
And when you touch her glove |
She then becomes your drug |
You fall so deep in love with the girl |
It’s too late, you’re hypnotized |
She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes |
And you love her, you love her, you love her, you love that girl |
It’s too late, you’re hypnotized |
She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes |
And you love her, you love that girl |
Like a rare Picasso or Monet |
The kind of beauty studied every day |
Every woman wants her grace and style |
But no one can replicate her smile |
That glow that’s in her eyes |
Gives you visions in your mind |
She’s from another space and time |
That’s when you’ll know you’re hypnotized |
And her intoxicating will not be denied |
And when you touch her glove |
She then becomes your drug |
You fall so deep in love, that girl |
It’s too late, you’re hypnotized |
She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes |
And you love her, you love her, you love her, you love that girl |
It’s too late, you’re hypnotized |
She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes |
And you love her, you love that girl |
It’s too late, you’re hypnotized |
She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes |
And you love her, you love that girl |
In your eyes we see the tiny white snowcaps of mountains |
(She's got Dorothy’s eyes) |
The purple glow of distant stars |
The blue shine of black metal |
Red rose petals falling slowly through the sunny air |
Orange clouds, pink moons on the tongue of the sun |
Who knew heaven could kiss just like this? |
