Betty Davis Eyes
Gwyneth Paltrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her hands are never cold, she´s got Bette Davis eyes
She´ll turn the music on you, you won´t have to think twice
She´s pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes
And she´ll tease you, she´ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She´s precocious, and she knows just
She got Greta Garbo´s stand off sighs, she´s got Bette Davis eyes
She´ll let you take her home, it whets her appetite
She´ll lay you on the throne, she got Bette Davis eyes
She´ll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue, she´s got Bette Davis eyes
She´ll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you breathe with the crumbs she throws you
She´s ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she´s a spy, she´s got Bette Davis eyes
And she´ll tease you, she´ll unease you
All the better just to please you

The longer she sings it the more excited she gets about singing it.

her voice and the way she moves is hypnotic

Gwyneth's amazing rendition can rival that of Kim Carnes, as her voice is so creamy in its smoothness & pure, enchanting sweetness, this velvety treat that is as compelling as it is beautifully entrancing, steeped in a dreamy magic all her own, that of GP! She could have made it huge as a singer, as Gwyneth's voice is to die for, on par with her truly astonishing acting abilities, if not more sublime (as she brings great degrees of nuance, depth & pathos to her roles, with an inherent skill & maturity that 25 years ago was beyond her years & which only blossomed thereafter!). Heavenly!
