Struggling with Eyes? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Right outside the window something's happening A man he stares into a TV screen From the next apartment we hear music Bleeding through the scene TV pans the bedroom, woman's sleeping Hands are sprawled out loosely across the bed She must be pretty rich 'Cause I can see all the diamonds on her neck [Chorus] And there's always someone watching Eyes TV's and someone's watching Eyes In the kitchen someone's watching Eyes And the maid and butler's watching Eyes Silent sunbeams falling across the window Suddenly she awakens with surprise Day and night they always go so quickly In TV time... Her husband rushes in and in the meantime She just slightly smiles and turns her head He just whispers something to her softly God knows what he said... You know it wasn't very long Before the two of them were kissing She was his wife, he was her man But they knew what they were missing [Chorus] TV's on and someone's watching Eyes They're getting in through your eyes Don't let them poison your mind...
