Lyrics
You’re always a stranger never familiar
You’re always so different and never the same
You keep love exciting with clever disguise
And we’ll always be lovers because of your eyes
Because of your eyes I tremble all over
When you look at me I double in size
You’re always a lady, so sexy and wise
And we’ll always be lovers because of your eyes
Because of your eyes I tremble all over
When you look at me I double in size
You’re always a lady, so sexy and wise
And we’ll always be lovers because of your eyes
And we’ll always be lovers because of your eyes
