Brown Eyes

Fleetwood Mac · Tusk [1979]

When you look at me with those brown eyes

What do you want to do

Do you have to have me

The way that I want you

I want you



When you look at me with those brown eyes

What do you want to say

And are you just another liar

Will you take me all the way

All the way.
