Oh, dreamboat, my sugarloaf
I can tell from your smile
Oh, baby, I could be one girl of a port of call
If you will drop your anchor
And stay for awhile
And, yes, I want to smother my perfect lover
Till we're dancing in the skies
There's nothing like hustle and muscle
And, babe, I got eyes
Oh, babe, I got eyes
No tugboat around my head
You could never be in songs like this
Where words and chords collide
Instead a hopeless turn of phrase
With sincerity
[Chorus:]
And, yes, I want to smother my perfect lover
With candy kisses to make him wise
An offer you couldn't (wouldn't) refuse
And, babe, I got eyes
Oh, babe, I got eyes
The 'eyes' have always made it clear
That love begins and ends
Without a sense of fashion
No code etiquette is here
Only a friendly drive towards impolite passion
Know what I'm talking about
Know what I'm talking about
My old pal, my carnivale
We have just begun
When morning comes
We'll linger and begin again
And you will not believe how smart you've become
[Repeat Chorus]
Oh, babe, I got eyes
Oh, babe, I got eyes
I can tell from your smile
Oh, baby, I could be one girl of a port of call
If you will drop your anchor
And stay for awhile
And, yes, I want to smother my perfect lover
Till we're dancing in the skies
There's nothing like hustle and muscle
And, babe, I got eyes
Oh, babe, I got eyes
No tugboat around my head
You could never be in songs like this
Where words and chords collide
Instead a hopeless turn of phrase
With sincerity
[Chorus:]
And, yes, I want to smother my perfect lover
With candy kisses to make him wise
An offer you couldn't (wouldn't) refuse
And, babe, I got eyes
Oh, babe, I got eyes
The 'eyes' have always made it clear
That love begins and ends
Without a sense of fashion
No code etiquette is here
Only a friendly drive towards impolite passion
Know what I'm talking about
Know what I'm talking about
My old pal, my carnivale
We have just begun
When morning comes
We'll linger and begin again
And you will not believe how smart you've become
[Repeat Chorus]
Oh, babe, I got eyes
Oh, babe, I got eyes
