In Your Eyes
Babys (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it you
It had to be someone
In my life through these days
There's got to be a better way
Seen my love lose her grip
She can't take it
Get high
Well one day I'm gonna break it
But here in your eyes
I see what I need to know
You're so young you've got alibis
And you stripped away my disguise
Ain't it so
Day or night
You make me feel alright
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Gazing in your eyes
Who in the world even cares
We're all gettin' older
I'm alone
I need love
I'm gonna break it
Seen my love lose her grip
She can't take it
Get high
Get low
Well one day I'm gonna break it
But here in your eyes
I see what I need to know
You're so young you've got alibis
And you stripped away my disguise
Ain't it so
Day or night
You make me feel alright
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Gazing in your eyes
Gazing in your eyes
Gazing in your eyes
