Bloodshot Eyes Songtext

von Wynonie Harris

Now, just because you're pretty and you think you're mighty wise
You tell me that you love me, then you roll those big brown eyes
When I saw you last week your eyes were turnin' black
Go find the guy who beat you up, ask him to take you back
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can see you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you tell me you been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I used to spend my money just to make you look real sweet
I wanted to be proud of you when we walk down the street
Now don't ask me to dress you up in a satins and in silk
Your eyes look like two cherries in a glass of buttermilk
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can see you've been out on a spree
It's plain that you're lyin'
When you tell you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
Now, I guess our little romance has finally simmered down
You should join a circus, man, you'd make a real good clown
Your eyes look like a road map, I'm scared to smell your breath
You'd better shut those peepers 'fore you bleed yourself to death
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can see you've been out on a spree
It's plain that you're lyin'
When you tell me you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
