Almost Ideal Eyes[Verse 1]Here she comes with her almost ideal eyes And her flawless skin and her petulant pout The memory of such a long blonde alibi Still makes me want to shout out loud and clear When you clear your head my dear You can't come round here in those stolen clothes Telling me all about some mystery I hope she isn't one, i hope she isn't one of those [Chorus] Almost ideal eyes Viewed through a rosy hue So beautiful, trusting You'll find liberal is an insult now and care is what you pay for Be sure of what you wish upon, be careful what you pray for When you look into those almost ideal [Verse 2] Love is smiles, he will hypnotize you while He tries to analyze your dream Fill you up with all his big ideas while he really wants to make you Scream out loud at the phony innocence And the pained pretense and the dismal rage The vacant lot that thankfully time forgot Where you never have to act, you never have to act your age |
