I've got eyes for you
Hello baby
I've got eyes for you
Tell you truth about you baby
I'm dead dead sweet on you
Ooh wee baby
You're my one and only girl
Ooh wee baby
You're my one and only girl
I love everything about you
Cause you send me in the world
Every time I see you
My head goes 'round and 'round
Yes every time I see you
My head goes 'round and 'round
Even though it do me good
Cause it bring my blood pressure down

Released during a pivotal era when Domino was redefining the genre with his distinctive, percussive guitar style and driving backbeat, the track exemplifies the raw energy that propelled him to stardom. While often associated with his signature hits like 'The Fat Man' or 'Ain't That A Shame', this song showcases his versatility and vocal charisma. The composition captures the infectious optimism of the mid-1950s, featuring a tight rhythm section and Domino's characteristic delivery that emphasized the groove over complex harmonies. As a staple of his discography, the recording remains a defining artifact of the transition from jump blues to rock and roll, cementing Domino's legacy as a foundational figure in American popular music.
