On a tree lined avenue
I see the sweetest little creature
Coming into my view
And I say to myself, I say man I'm gonna get me some
Of that bright little angel
That shines like the morning sun
Well my brother steps in, faster that light
I say hey you, you with that look in your eye
Hey you, you with that look in your eye
Well she moves like a river
From her head down to her toes
It's less a way of walking
More a total flow
And I say to myself, I wonder
I wonder if she knows
What she's doing to me and my brother
From our heads down to our toes
Well he's up there on the corner now
He's playing up that Romeo like only he know how
I say hey you, you with that look in your eye
Hey you, you with that look in your eye
Hey you, you that make the stars shine
Hey you, you with that look in your eye

I stood out with my brother
Me and my brother were standing outside
On a tree lined avenue
The street we were on had trees on both sides
I see the sweetest little creature
I saw a really attractive person
Coming into my view
They came within my field of vision
And I say to myself, I say man I'm gonna get me some
I thought to myself that I wanted to date this person
Of that bright little angel
I thought of the person as a sweet and innocent soul
That shines like the morning sun
I thought they had a bright and radiant personality
Well my brother steps in, faster that light
My brother quickly went over to talk to them
And he sweet talks this angel, clean out of sight
He successfully charmed the person and they left together
I say hey you, you with that look in your eye
I call out to the person who caught my attention
Well she moves like a river
Their movements were fluid and graceful
From her head down to her toes
It was evident in every part of their body
It's less a way of walking
Their way of moving was more than just walking
More a total flow
It was a complete and natural fluidity
And I say to myself, I wonder
I thought to myself in wonder
I wonder if she knows
I wondered if the person was aware of the effect they had on us
What she's doing to me and my brother
They were causing us to be interested in them romantically
From our heads down to our toes
Their effect on us was all-encompassing
Well he's up there on the corner now
My brother is now over on the street corner
He's playing up that Romeo like only he know how
My brother is attempting to court the person with his romantic charms
Hey you, you that make the stars shine
I address the person who shines so brightly, they could light up the stars
Hey you, you with that look in your eye
I call out to the person who caught my attention
