[Verse 1]
When we were younger we thought
Everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little bit
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
See, it takes a boy to live
It takes a man to pretend he was there
[Verse 2]
So then we grew a little and knew a lot
And how we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self-assured
Cause it’s a long road to wisdom
But it’s a short one
To being ignored
[Chorus]
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes
Aye, aye, aye
And be in my heart
[Verse 3]
So now I think that I could
Love you back
And I hope it’s not too late cause you’re so attractive
And the way you move
I won’t close my eyes
It takes a man to live
It takes a woman to make him compromise
[Chorus]
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes
Aye, aye, aye
And be in my heart
When we were younger we thought
Everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little bit
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
See, it takes a boy to live
It takes a man to pretend he was there
[Verse 2]
So then we grew a little and knew a lot
And how we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self-assured
Cause it’s a long road to wisdom
But it’s a short one
To being ignored
[Chorus]
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes
Aye, aye, aye
And be in my heart
[Verse 3]
So now I think that I could
Love you back
And I hope it’s not too late cause you’re so attractive
And the way you move
I won’t close my eyes
It takes a man to live
It takes a woman to make him compromise
[Chorus]
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes
Aye, aye, aye
And be in my heart
