Conway Twitty – I See the Want To in Your Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It’s plain to see that you’ve already got a man
I can tell you’re not about to fall for any of my lies
I see the want to in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Deep in your smile there’s a quiet, soft desire
Like the embers of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again, you know it isn’t wise
I see the want to in your eyes
[Bridge]
How strong’s a band of gold
Is it strong enough to hold
When a love has grown cold
And A woman wants a love, sweet and warm
[Verse 3]
How many women just like you have silent schemes?
How many men like me do they sleep with in their dreams?
You can stay or you can go and although I sympathize
I still see the want to in your eyes
[Outro]
I see the want to in your eyes
GENIUS
