Lyrics

Spanish Eyes

Hey little girl, is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
Baby I been watching you for a long, long time
Come close, we could have us some fun
And after the burning is done
Our ruins will shine through the night
Where you took me with your Spanish eyes

He's your Saturday night special baby, is he good to you
Does he have money, honey, like I do
Can he do the things that I'll do for you
If your answer it isn't so clear
Then maybe you should stay right here
And let your doubts slip away 'neath you sighs
Let me kiss your Spanish eyes

When the music it plays and the dancers sway with sweet emotion
And the dance floor is filled with promises of complete devotion
Close to feel your motion
Yeah, bring it on in

Come on and stretch out baby, and call your daddy home
I'm running tonight, I won't be long
I got something special baby, just meant for you
Here where the road narrows and turns
The only light's from the fire that burns
Here 'neath the coal black skies
When I look into your Spanish eyes
Into your Spanish eyes
Into your Spanish eyes
Into your Spanish eyes
