[Verse 1]
There was I one night in Acapulco
Bored to tears, the band just played The Tango
You walked in, suddenly I'm in a spin
There you are just like some kind of hero
More cool than Brando and DeNiro
Dressed to kill
Boy, I think you know you'll win
Just like a time bomb tickin' away
No way to stop this runaway train

[Chorus]
You've got the look that makes me weak
Something in your eyes that words can't speak
And you can cast a spell on me like a bullet to my heart
Oh, you've got a move, a certain style
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
You've got the look that's got me hooked
I can't take my eyes off you

[Verse 2]
Whats the story? I watch you stealing kisses
Broken hearts and tears are so delicious
Boy, you know you're in denial
Oh, what's the use?
Pretending I don't want to
Tease you, taste you, turn you on and taunt you
Come to me
Oh, and show me no mercy
I'm flying too close to the sun
But it's a beautiful way to burn

[Chorus]
You've got the look that makes me weak
Something in your eyes that words can't speak
And you can cast a spell on me like a bullet to my heart
Oh, you've got a move, a certain style
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
You've got the look that's got me hooked
I can't take my eyes off you

[Bridge 1]
(Touch me, touch me, you know you gotta touch me, touch me)
I'm heading straight into the sun
And now, I'm burning up!
I'm burning up!

[Chorus]
You've got the look that makes me weak
Something in your eyes that words can't speak
And you can cast a spell on me like a bullet to my heart
Oh, you've got a move, a certain style
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
You've got the look that's got me hooked
I can't take my eyes off you

[Bridge 2]
No, no, no
Touch me, taste me, tell me that you want me
Keep me comin' back you know you got me
'Cause you got that look
Oh, and baby it's my world you shook
Oh, cast a spell
I know you got the Voodoo
No one makes me feel the way that you do
It's the look that's got me hooked
I can't take me eyes off you

[Outro]
Can't take my eyes off you

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
