Lyrics

1. My heart’s burning up with jealousy,
   Tell me what you’d do if you were me,
   I’m so in love, heavens above
   I need your symphony.

Chorus
There’s too many eyes that wanna make eyes
At two pretty eyes I love
There’s too many lips just longing to kiss
Two sugary lips that mean oceans of bliss
There’s too many hands that wanna hold hands
With my little lovey dove
There’s too many eyes that wanna make eyes
At two pretty eyes I love

2. Don’t know what to do or what to say,
   I just feel like I could pass away,
   Can’t eat a bite, don’t sleep at night,
   It’s getting worse each day.

Chorus
There’s too many eyes that wanna make eyes
At two pretty eyes I love
There’s too many lips just longing to kiss
Two sugary lips that mean oceans of bliss
There’s too many hands that wanna hold hands
With my little lovey dove
There’s too many eyes that wanna make eyes
At two pretty eyes I love
