The Eyes of a Woman - Journey

When she was just a girl She became a woman of the world Soon there wasn't room enough for her In between the bosoms of her family She popped the cork, got on the Greyhound to New York Small-talked her way round just the sort Of playboys' playground she'd once dreamed about Maybe I love her, but I'm jealous of her She's a woman of the world She's a fake!—sure, but she's a real fake On the make!—making up for lost time Just you wait!—hey, give the girl a break And a fifty dollar bill will see to that Heh, that ain't enough to feed the cat Serve up the rats and super rats Well they just get fatter while she fades away Maybe I love her, but I'm jealous of her She's a woman of the world Maybe I hate her, 'cause I didn't create her It's human nature, girl Maybe I'll suffer, just to be her lover Just to be part of her world Maybe I need her, because I want to be her baby, can I be your girl? Maybe I'll kill her, just trying to thrill her if she don't kill me first We're making eye-contact Oh those hypnotic eyes attract Such philanthropic flies—that's that. You cannot stop it, so why the devil do you try?

Can I touch you to see if you? re real? ? Cause in nothing there? s something I feel Will my heart take the strain Or will it break down again? In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger Have I been sleeping for all these years? Is it magic that makes you appear? When you walked in the room I felt my heart race But knew I'd been fooled when I looked at your face In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I see a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I see a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger

World is covered by our trails Scars we cover up with paint Watch them preach in sour lies I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child Through the eyes of a child Darker times will come and go Times you need to see her smile And mothers' hearts are warm and mild I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child Through the skin of a child When a human strokes your skin That is when you let them in Let them in before they go I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul With a childlike soul Hey-oh, oh, hey Oh, ay Ah-ah, hey Oh, ay Hey-oh, oh, hey Oh, ay Ah-ah, hey Oh, ay Please don't leave me here
