Funniest pair of eyes I've ever seen.
Funny I can't get wise to what they mean.
I wish that I could understand the things you say.
Each time I try to go, you seem to make me stay.

(Maybe it's just because you like to flirt.)
Maybe you want to see my feelings hurt.
(You've got me round and round you like a child.)
Someday you're going to drive me wild.

So what do you want to make those eyes at me for
When they don't mean what they say?
They make me glad.
They make me sad.
They make me want a lot of things I'll never have.
So what do you want to fool around with me for?
You lead me on and then you run away.
But never mind,
I'll get you alone some night
And then you'll surely find
You're flirting with dynamite.
So what do you want to make those eyes at me for
When they don't mean what they say?
