Lyrics
Her hair is harlow gold her lips sweet surprise. 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 what it takes to make a pro blush. She got Greta Garbo 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're a dice. Until you come out blue she's got Bette Davis eyes.
She'll expose you when she snoze you off your feet with the crumbs she crawls you. She's furocious 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. She's percocious 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.
She'll tease you she'll unease you just to please you. She's got Bette Davis eyes. She'll expose you when she snoze you she knows you. She's got Bette Davis eyes.
