When we were younger, we thought Everyone was on our side, then we grew a little And romanticized the time I saw Flowers in your hair See, it takes a boy to live It takes a man to pretend he was there So then we grew a little and knew a lot And now we demonstrated it to the cops And all the things we said We were self-assured 'Cause it's a long road to wisdom But it's a short one to bein' ignored Be in my eyes And be in my heart Be in my eyes, aye, aye, aye Be in my heart So now I think that I could love you back And I hope it's not too late, 'cause you're so attractive And the way you move I won't close my eyes It takes a man to live It takes a woman to make him compromise So be in my eyes And be in my heart Be in my eyes, aye, aye, aye Be in my heart
