With Those Eyes lyrics

You wonder why you can make them cry.

You get your words in and you ask

why they so easily forgive

what you did.

Well, it don't come down to circumstance,

it's those eyes.

You could turn cynics to sycophants

with those eyes.

You press your face up against the glass

and rally from your class.

You battle prejudice with pride,

but you can't hide...

...that it don't come down to rank or birth,

it's those eyes.

You could charm your way out of a hearse

with those eyes.

Tell me what you want to contemplate,

to turn your gaze on me.

Tell me what you want.

Tell me what you need.

I'll make it trouble-free.

Can't get to sleep 'cause you got away with it

with everything again today.

And do I see something hollow there?

Are you aware...

...that it could be cloudy, could be clear

with those eyes?

Did you cataract your conscience, dear,

with those eyes?

Well, it don't come down to circumstance

with those eyes.

You could forge from cynics sycophants

with those eyes.

You could turn cynics to sycophants

with those eyes.

Tell me what you want to contemplate,

to turn your gaze on me.

Tell me what you want.

Tell me what you need.

I'll make it trouble-free.

Tell me what you want.

Tell me what you need.

I'll make it trouble-free.
