M.C.: I know what you're thinking You wonder why I chose her Out of all the ladies in the world That's just a first impression What good's a first impression If you knew her like I do, It would change your point of view-
If you could see her If you could see her thru my eyes, You wouldn't wonder at all. If you could see her thru my eyes, I guarantee you would fall (Like I did) When we're in public together, I hear society moan, But if they could see her thru my eyes, Maybe they'd leave us alone.
How can I speak of her virtues? I don't know where to begin. She's clever, she's smart, she reads music, She doesn't smoke or drink gin. (Like I do) Yet when we're walking together, They sneer if I'm holding her hand, But if they could see her thru my eyes, Maybe they'd all understand...
[Spoken] Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you, Is there a crime to fall in love? Can one ever choose where our heats lead us?
[Sung] Oh, I understand your objection, I grant my problem's not small; But if you could see her thru my eyes, She isn't a meeskite at all!
