Eyes On Me
SHOW-GO Lyrics

Little Lilly was oh! So silly and shy
Lilly was a shy girl.

And all the fellows knew,
The boys knew that she was not interested in them.

She wouldn't bill and coo:
She wouldn't flirt with them.

Ev'ry single night some smart fellow would try
Every night a boy would try to impress her.

o cuddle up to her, but she would cry:
But she was not comfortable with that.

Ma, he's making eyes at me!
She complained to her mother about the boys who stared at her.

Ma he's awful nice to me!
She told her mother that the boys were very nice to her.

Ma he's almost breaking my heart,
She felt overwhelmed by their attention.

I'm beside him, Mercy!
She was scared about being close to them.

Let his conscience guide him!
She wanted the boys to behave themselves.

Ma, he wants to marry me,
She told her mother that the boys wanted to marry her.

Be my honey bee.
She used a metaphor to refer to the boys as potential lovers.

Ev'ry minute he gets bolder,
She noticed that the boys were becoming more confident.

Now he's leaning on my shoulder,
She felt uncomfortable with the boys getting too close.

Ma, he's kissing me!
She complained to her mother about the boys trying to kiss her.

Lilly was so good, ev'ry body could tell.
Lilly was a well-behaved girl.

You'd never see her roam,
She never went out very much.

She'd always stay at home;
She preferred to stay at home.

All the neighbors knew Little Lilly too well.
Her neighbors were familiar with Lilly's behavior.

For when the boys would call, they'd hear her yell:
When the boys came to see her, she would yell at them.

Ma, he's making eyes at me!
She complained to her mother about the boys staring at her.

Ma he's awful nice to me!
She told her mother that the boys were very nice to her.

Ma he's almost breaking my heart,
She felt overwhelmed by their attention.

If you peek in, Can't you see I'm goin' to weaken?
She was considering giving in to their advances.

Ma, he wants to marry me,
She told her mother that the boys wanted to marry her.

Be my honey bee.
She used a metaphor to refer to the boys as potential lovers.

Ma, I'm meeting with resistance,
She was trying to resist the boys' advances.

I shall holler for assistance,
She threatened to call for help.

Ma, he's kissing me!
She complained to her mother about the boys trying to kiss her.
