Baby, take the long way home
Don't stop at every light
The wind is blowing you right through me tonight
I'm somewhere in the ozone
And I can hardly breathe
Perfume and leather, baby
It's you and me together, baby

What good is living in paradise
If you don't let yourself go once or twice
No, nobody's giving me better advice
Show what you're feeling
You wouldn't be stealing

Smother me with those eyes
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes, yeah
Promise me they don't lie
They don't lie, they don't lie
Smother me with those eyes
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes, yeah
Cover me once or twice
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes

We fell into it, baby
This mood is like a dream
The night we've waited for so long it seems
Has come to make us crazy
And we got no place to hide
Heroes and virgins, baby
Life gets so urgent, baby

Being your friend has been very nice
But I don't wanna be after tonight, no
The moon is giving us its perfect light
The radio's beating
And the words keep repeating, so...

Smother me with those eyes
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes, yeah
Promise me they don't lie
They don't lie, they don't lie
Smother me with those eyes
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes, yeah
Cover me once or twice
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes

Baby, I'll stay devoted to you dedicated
Next to you I just want to be with you, baby
Baby, I'll stay devoted to you dedicated
Next to you I just want to be with you, baby

Smother me with those eyes
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes, yeah
Promise me they don't lie
They don't lie, they don't lie
Smother me with those eyes
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes, yeah
Cover me once or twice
Spanish eyes, Spanish eyes

Tiffany Renee Darwish (born October 2, 1971), simply known by her mononym Tiffany, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and former teen icon. She is most notable for her 1987 cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” a song originally recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967. Released as the second single from her eponymous album, Tiffany, the song quickly became a teen anthem. Thanks to an original mall tour, "The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ‘87”, Tiffany found commercial success; both the single and the album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, respectively. The singles “Could’ve Been” and “I Saw Him Standing There”, a cover version of The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There”, followed soon after, with the former also claiming the No. 1 position on the Hot 100.

Tiffany was born in 1971 to James Robert Darwish and Janie Wilson, who divorced when she was very young. She grew up in Norwalk, California.

Tiffany began singing around 1975 when she was four years old and learned the words to the song “Delta Dawn”. After the divorce, she resided with her father, but in her adolescence, she rebelled against his strict Baptist parenting. While attending Leffingwell Christian High School, a group of friends and she behaved in a manner which contravened school regulations; she acknowledged this on Celebrity Ghost Stories in 2012.
