I Couldn't Take My Eyes Off You

(album: Sher-oo! - 1968)

La-la-la-la-la, la, la
La-la-la-la-la, la, la
La-la-la-la-la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la

I walked along the crowded street without a care
The world's so full of people rushing everywhere
And then I saw a face I thought I knew
And as it came into view
I couldn't take my eyes off you

You didn't even notice I was standing there
So close to you but you just didn't seem to care
I did not think to turn around and walk away
But found that I had to stay
I couldn't take my eyes off you

I couldn't take my eyes off
You no matter how I tried
I stood there watching you and tears
Began to fill my eyes
Seeing you with someone new
Hurt me so much inside
I could have died
I couldn't take my eyes off you

You smiled at her the way you always smiled at me
You took her in your arms and kissed her tenderly
And then you walked away with her by your side
While I just broke down and cried
I couldn't believe my eyes
Just wouldn't believe my eyes
That's why I couldn't take my eyes off you

La-la-la-la-la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la
