Ships in the Night lyrics

I saw her look and I realized

She was seducing my man with her eyes

And yet I couldn't blame you

For she was delicious

And smiled me assurance and still I was jealous

Then you took me home and finally alone

You set myself down and you sang me this song

Baby, ships in the night

Eyes that are flashing

Flirting and passing with time on their hands

She's a ship in the night looking for love

And nobody's taking your man

You remember the fight on the way to the party

And we both went inside, neither saying we're sorry

And because he was handsome

And you were disturbed

Through his whole boring story, I hung on each word

Acting as though I enjoyed him so

Playing a game; I'm a woman, you know

And nothing was said in the car going home

And my ego exploded, 'cause your jealousy showed

And then in our bedroom you stalked and you talked

And I quieted your thunder and sang you this song

Baby, ships in the night

Eyes that are flashing

Bragging about all his trips around the world

He's a ship in the night

Looking for love and nobody's taking your girl

I cannot follow through each waking day

And I know some lovely eyes get in your way

But then you're a big boy

Baby, I know when the day's sun surrenders

My ship sails home to me

Ships in the night

Eyes that are flashing

Flirting and passing with time on their hands

She's a ship in the night

Looking for love and nobody's taking my man
