Cat's Eyes
Ramona · Shake What Yo' Mama Give Ya [1980]
Cat's eyes
Take good peep into that cat's eyes
Cat's eyes
Lose your heart in those wild eyes blue, oooh
Cat's eyes
Take good peep into that cat's eyes (take good peep, peep, peep)
Tempting you
What can you do when his eyes blink at you
You fall for him just like an autumn leaf
You want his love though he stays out of reach, out of reach
Wishing you could walk on by
Instead of giving him one more try
Barely miss him
How could you were so free and easy
Cat's eyes
Take good peep into that cat's eyes
Cat's eyes
Lose your heart in those wild eyes blue, oooh
Cat's eyes
Take good peep into that cat's eyes (take good peep, peep, peep)
Tempting you
What can you do when his eyes blink at you
And in your dreams, you'll see him come to you
Love was a shimmering sound of melting blue, melting blue
Whispering words of love to hear
Sweet caresses in a summer wind
Barely miss him
How could you were so free and easy (so free and easy)
[keyboard solo]
Ooooh, oooh, cat's eyes
Take good peep into that cat's eyes (take good peep, peep, peep)
Tempting you
What can you do when his eyes wink at you
Cat's eyes
Cat's eyes
Cat's eyes
