When we were younger
we thought
Everyone was
on our side
Then we grew a little
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
So then we grew
a little
and knew a lot
And now
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 bein' ignored
Be in my eyes
And be in my heart
Be in my eyes
aye-aye-aye
And be in my heart
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
'Cause it takes a man
to live
It takes a woman
to make him compromise
So be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes
aye-aye-aye
And be in my heart
