Bedroom Eyes
Ceberano Kate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't resist you no matter how I try
After all this time can't believe that I'm
About to take this ride
Said it was over decided we were through
I've convinced myself that somebody else could take the place a you

You're part of me my one obsession
And from this power you possess I need protection
When you're staring straight through me
With those eyes those bedroom eyes
I'm lost for words so hypnotized
I can feel it in my heart it's about to start
With those eyes those bedroom eyes

I made a promise to myself that I would
Erase you from my mind leave the past behind
Be done with you for good but then I saw you I knew that I had lied
I thought of just how much I crave your touch to keep me satisfied

You're part of me my one obsession
And from this power you possess I need protection

When you're storing straight through me
With those eyes (eyes) I must admit (ooh) I'm not surprised
I can feel it in my heart (feel it in my heart) it's about to start
With those eyes (ooh) those bedroom eyes

You're a part of me my one obsession I need you
And from this power you possess I need protection hey what con I do
There is no reason to lose my sight
As long as I con see myself reflected in those eyes

Bedroom eyes (eyes) those bedroom eyes (eyes)
I'm lost for words (ooh) so hypnotized
When you stare into my soul (stare into my soul) I lose all control
Too those eyes (ooh) those bedroom eyes

Bedroom eyes (eyes) those bedroom eyes (eyes)
I must admit (ooh) I'm not surprised
I con feel it in my heart (feel it in my heart) its about to start
With those eyes (ooh) those bedroom eyes

Yeah oh no no no no no no no no those bedroom eyes
Make me feel it in my soul (ooh ooh yeah) da da da hey




Ooh dee yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
My obsession my obsession my obsession
