Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
Lauryn Hill · The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
can't take my eyes off of you
you'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
that long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
there's nothing else to compare
the sight of you leaves me weak
there are no words left to speak
but if you feel like I feel
please let me know that it's real
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
Chorus:
I need you baby and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say: it's ok
Oh pretty baby, don't let me down, I pray
oh pretty baby, now that I've found you, stay
and let me love you, oh baby, let me love you, oh baby
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes out of you
you'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
that long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
Chorus x 3
