It's All In The Eyes
The hands of the clock, softly tick tock
But the banging in my head says otherwise
You used to be my hero, my lover, my rock
Now I can't bare to look you in the eyes
For they no longer carry a reflection of me
As they once did, seems like decades ago
It's now someone else, in your eyes, I see
And there's no way it takes three to tango
These green eyes of mine are my downfall
And I, of sound mind, usually am quite calm
But in the still of night, if you should get a call
They will glow like emeralds from a lost realm
If jealousy rears it's ugly head, I'm on ready
I can't seem to help it and I lose all control
I am not proud of this shortcoming you see
For looking crazed to anyone is not my goal
So embarrassed I am after such an episode
I will usually hang my head low in shame
When, in all reality, I should let myself explode
Because, in the first place, I was not to blame
Your deep blue eyes do tend to deceive me
That alone should've been a dead give away
But then when you get me all hot and steamy
It's never your eyes I'm looking at anyway
Perhaps I should purchase a pair of blinders
But then that wouldn't be fair to me at all
I'd miss my note on the fridge as a reminder
To check out the new pool boy when he calls
