My Eyes Adored You
Justin Timberlake · Other Songs - Justin Timberlake
My eyes adore ya
Girl you're deep inside each day
Waiting for the courage
That never came
So on you went without a clue
That these adoring eyes they long for you
I tried to get real close to you
Hoping that you would see through
My disguise
And somehow you know that I
Chorus
I adored ya
Though I never laid my hands on you
My eyes adored ya
My eyes adored ya
Like you couldn't see
A millions miles away
How I adored ya
So close (so close)
So close and yet so far
You looked at me
And saw a friend
You told me things
And I'd have to pretend
That you didn't mean
The world to me
And all the while
Behind the scenes
I cried with you
And lived your every dream
Yes I did
The reality
the hope's still there
And dreams run wild
I'll make time to
So tell me, tell me baby
Was I a fool
Do your eyes adore me, too
Girl you're deep inside each day
Waiting for the courage
That never came
So on you went without a clue
That these adoring eyes they long for you
I tried to get real close to you
Hoping that you would see through
My disguise
And somehow you know that I
Chorus
I adored ya
Though I never laid my hands on you
My eyes adored ya
My eyes adored ya
Like you couldn't see
A millions miles away
How I adored ya
So close (so close)
So close and yet so far
You looked at me
And saw a friend
You told me things
And I'd have to pretend
That you didn't mean
The world to me
And all the while
Behind the scenes
I cried with you
And lived your every dream
Yes I did
The reality
the hope's still there
And dreams run wild
I'll make time to
So tell me, tell me baby
Was I a fool
Do your eyes adore me, too
