Brown Eyed Woman
Bill Medley Lyrics
You look at me and baby, all you see are my blue eyes.
I'm not a man baby, all I am is what I symbolize.
Brown-eyed woman. (Stay away, baby.)
Brown-eyed woman. (Stay away, baby.)
Brown-eyed woman. (Stay away, baby.)
I could love you so, (no no) I could love you so, (no no)
brown-eyed woman I could love you so.
Um, um, um. All of the years all the hate and the fears
have twisted your heart.
Now you turn away, you won't trust what I say
Brown-eyed woman. (Stay away baby.)
Brown-eyed woman. (Stay away, baby.)
Brown-eyed woman. (Stay away, baby.)
I could love you so, (no no) I could love you so, (no no)
brown-eyed woman I could love you so.
Yes, yes, I'm holding out my hand to you.
Darling tell me, tell me please what more can I do,
brown-eyed woman. (Stay away, baby.)
Brown-eyed woman. (Stay away, baby.)
I want you, I need you. (Stay away, baby.)
I'm holding out my hand. (Stay away, baby.)
I want you, I need you. (Stay away, baby.)
I'm holding out my hand. (Stay away, baby.)
I want you, I need you. (Stay away, baby.)

No wonder Darlene is smiling so much, she knew Bill was singing this about her.

I never forgot this song since I first heard it at age 12, having looked for it online for years. Between the sensual smoke of Bill's plaintive and imploring words, and the not-too-subtle smolder between him and Darlene, how could anyone tear themselves away (from Medley in Love)?

I Recommend My Name Is Love by Darleen Love and (I Had) The Time Of My Life by Bill Medley. They speak of each other in their books. Both available on Kindle.

🥰🥰🥰Well put. Yes Lord, I can feel the love and pain for beautiful Darlene Love in Bill's mellifluous voice.!!@

I saw the Righteous Brothers with my high school sweetheart Sharon, in San Diego in 1965 at the Community Concourse. They were amazing. Class personified. A lot of folks thought they were Black & there were Blacks at the Concert. An unforgettable night. Sorry Bobby is gone but he blessed us with his voice. Obvious Bill was googling Darlene...she was beaming. Sweet.😁

Beautiful Blue Eyed Soul! Beautiful song. Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were way ahead of their time, so cool! Bobby left us too early. I loved their music!

So romantic, the words, just look at Darlene, this song is about her
