Dirty Dancing · Ultimate Dirty Dancing
I've got this feelin that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You're mine tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these
CHORUS:
hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
I want to hold you
so hear me out
I want to show you what love's all about
Darlin tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these
CHORUS
hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see
this love was meant to be
CHORUS FADES
With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
