Take A Look At My Face
Michael Bolton · The Hunger [1987]
I said a lot of things, a lot of things I didn't mean to say
I never meant to hurt you and I was wrong to fight with you that way
But I'm only human, I let my pride deceive me
You're the lover I need in my life, you still don't believe me
Baby take a look at my face
And tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face
From the day I found you, you brought the light into my heart
So don't keep your love away from me and leave me in the dark
Though I never tell you just what my heart's concealing
You're the lover I need in my life can't you feel what I'm feeling
Baby take a look at my face
And tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side, oh
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken hearted
And if you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face, look at my face
You could think it over
You could make it easy
I'm the lover you need in your life
If you still don't believe me
Baby take a look at my face
And tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Take a look at my face
Baby take a look at my face, oh, oh, oh
Baby take a look at my face, oh
Baby, baby, baby, baby take a look at my face
I never meant to hurt you and I was wrong to fight with you that way
But I'm only human, I let my pride deceive me
You're the lover I need in my life, you still don't believe me
Baby take a look at my face
And tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face
From the day I found you, you brought the light into my heart
So don't keep your love away from me and leave me in the dark
Though I never tell you just what my heart's concealing
You're the lover I need in my life can't you feel what I'm feeling
Baby take a look at my face
And tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side, oh
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken hearted
And if you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face, look at my face
You could think it over
You could make it easy
I'm the lover you need in your life
If you still don't believe me
Baby take a look at my face
And tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Take a look at my face
Baby take a look at my face, oh, oh, oh
Baby take a look at my face, oh
Baby, baby, baby, baby take a look at my face
