Lyric
SALAI
WHEN I LOOKED INTO YOUR EYES,
I SWEAR THE WORLD STOPPED TURNING
WHAT SPELL CAN IT BE THAT YOU WEAVE,
WHY I CAN HARDLY DARE TO BREATHE
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
I GET THE STRANGEST FEELING
THAT I’VE KNOWN YOU ALL OF MY LIFE
YES I KNOW THAT THIS ISN’T RIGHT
BUT THERE’S A PLACE I WANT TO BE
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
LISA
YES YOU’RE RIGHT, IT’S SO WRONG,
JUST WHO DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE!
AND WHAT, WHAT MUST YOU THINK OF ME
THAT I WOULD FALL FOR SUCH... LIES!
LISA
I SHOULD TELL MY HUSBAND...
SALAI
WHAT,THAT YOU MISUNDERSTOOD AN ARTISTS TEMPERAMENT?
LISA
OH... I DON’T THINK I DID!
SALAI
GO AHEAD THEN. I’LL SHOUT THEM..
LISA
NO.. DON’T..
I DON’T WANT TO MAKE TROUBLE FOR YOU.
AND ANYWAY, I’M NOT REALLY SURE THAT HE’D CARE...
