Damn Your EyesSinéad O’Connor

Songwriter: Barbara Wyrick Steve Bogard

Producer: Sinéad O’Connor

I can do what I want
I'm in complete control
That's what I tell myself
I've got a mind of my own
I'll be alright alone
Don't need anybody else
I gave myself a good talking to
No more being a fool for you
But I see you
And all I remember
Is how you make me want to surrender

Damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
For making me wanna say
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me fall in love again
Damn your eyes

It's always the same
You say that you'll change
Somehow you never do
I believe all your lies
But look in your eyes
You make it all seem true
I guess I see what I wanna see
Or is it my heart just deceiving me
'Cause with a look I know so well
I fall completely under you spell

Damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
For making me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me fall in love again
Damn your eyes

You keep deliberately deceiving me
Making me see what I wanna see

Damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
For making me wanna say
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me fall in love again
Damn your eyes

Damn your eyes
For taking my breath away

Damn, damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me fall in love, fall in love again

Damn, damn your eyes

Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
