Bette Davis Eyes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes

[Verse 2]
She'll turn the music on you
And you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes

[Chorus]
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She's got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs
She's got-a Bette Davis eyes (She's got Bette Davis eyes)

[Verse 3]
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She's got Bette Davis eyes
[Verse 4]
She'll take a tumble with you
She'll roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

[Chorus]
She'll expose you, when she blows you
Off your feet with the crumbs that she throws you
She's precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got-a Bette Davis eyes

[Outro]
Greta Garbo's standoff sighs
She's got-a Bette Davis eyes
Ah, Bette Davis eyes (She's got Bette Davis eyes)

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
