lyrics

Who’s that that I see from across the room?
Is he looking at me or looking at you?
I’m trying to catch his eye
But he’s walkin’ right on by
Well I just can’t … catch a break, now can I?

Well it’s my lucky day … he’s a-comin’ my way
Or is he gonna walk right by? It’s hard to say
Is it my perception, or his lack of direction?
Well any which way, I’m gonna make him mine

He’s my cross-eyed, bow-legged man
He means the world to me, you wouldn’t understand
I don’t care where he’s lookin’ / walkin’
You know he’s always cookin’ / rockin’
My cross-eyed, bow-legged man

Is he lookin’ at me? Or maybe down the street
Well I don’t care ‘cause he’s lookin’ … fine as he can be
And he can look at you… and me simultaneously
That man is something… to see

Now he’s walking across the floor, straight in my direction
Or is he heading for that mirror, and maybe my reflection?
I don’t give a hoot … I ain’t givin’ him the boot
‘Cause to me … that boy is perfection

Alt Chorus:
He may be far from perfect, in someone else’s look
But you know that he can read: both pages of the book
If I have a secret, I try to hide from him…
He reminds me: he can see behind me

Repeat chorus + repeat “I don’t care where she’s lookin’” + Tag + Longer tag
