Verse:

I was just minding my business, life was a beautiful song,

Didn't have a care nor worry, then you had to come along.

 

Chorus:

I fell in love with you first time I looked into them there eyes.

You've got a certain little cute way of flirting with them there eyes.

They make me feel happy, they make me blue.

No stalling I'm falling, going in a sweet way for sweet little you.

My heart is jumping, you sure started something with them there eyes.

You'd better watch them if you're wise.

They sparkle, they bubble they're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble.

You're over working them, there's danger lurking in them there eyes.
