Ah ha ha Ah ha ha, ha ha ha Ah ha ha Ah ha ha, ha ha ha Ah ha ha, keep thinking ’bout his angel eyes Keep thinking, ah
Last night I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him together with a young girl And the look that he gave her made me shiver ‘Cause he always used to look at me that way And I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say Ah ha ha, it’s a game he likes to play
Look into his angel eyes One look and you’re hypnotized He’ll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angel eyes You’ll think you’re in paradise And one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise Don’t look too deep into those angel eyes Oh no no no no
Ah ha ha Ah ha ha, ha ha ha Ah ha ha Ah ha ha, ha ha ha Ah ha ha, keep thinking ’bout his angel eyes I keep thinking, ah
Sometimes when I’m lonely I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder does it have to be the same Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain? Ah ha ha, how can I forget that name?
Look into his angel eyes One look and you’re hypnotized He’ll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angel eyes You’ll think you’re in paradise Then one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise Don’t look too deep into his angel eyes Crazy ’bout his angel eyes Angel eyes He took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angel eyes You’ll think you’re in paradise Then one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise Don’t look too deep into those angel eyes Oh no no no no
Ah ha ha Ah ha ha, ha ha ha Ah ha ha Ah ha ha, ha ha ha Ah ha ha, keep thinking, ah ha ha, ha ha ha Keep thinking ’bout his angel eyes Ah ha ha, I keep thinking, ah ha ha, ha ha ha Keep thinking, had to pay the price Ah ha ha, I keep thinking, ah ha ha, ha ha ha Keep thinking, ’bout his angel eyes Ah ha ha, keep thinking, Ah ha ha, ha ha ha Keep thinking, had to pay the price Ah ha ha, Keep thinking
