[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
