Mary Chapin Carpenter - Naked To The Eye lyrics
Your rating:
Been walking these streets, been deciding what's true Been hands in my pockets, coat collar up, thinking `bout you I've been talking to myself, giving fate the third degree I've been eyes on the pavement admitting my part to strangers passing me And I know it isn't fair, but nothing's ever been Hey when you look at me baby, my god how I feel so good again I don't know where I went wrong, but it isn't right to lie Hey when you look at me baby, my hearts wide open, naked to the eye Now some lovers are apart, but they're never far away I can see her in your eyes, hear her in your voice and I have to turn away Oh what covet is to ache, is what aching is to me For the arms of a man who knows who I am and where I need to be And if I know what I know, then the lonely can't pretend When you look at me baby, my god how I feel so whole again Is there heaven after all, or just this empty space That no amount of time, nor comfort in it's hands can ever help me face Which is worse is yet to come, your rebuff or my resign Hey when you look at me baby, I'm helpless as a child, naked to the eye It's like a fever and a spell, unbroken by a sigh Oh when you look at me baby I'm going nowhere, just naked to the eye Yeah when you look at me baby, everythings there, naked to the eye Hey when you look at me baby, I haven't got a prayer, naked to the eye
