He could have been an army
The way he broke through my lines
He could have been a hurricane
The way he blew my mind
He could have been an angel
He made me feel so fine
He could have been the navy
He could been the whole damn fleet
He could have been a tidal wave
The way he swept me off my feet
He could have been an angel
You know the boy he was so sweet
He was just a pair of eyes that looked as if they knew me
Till I began to realise he wasn't looking through me
And when he said hello it felt like silk and lace
And I was taken prisoner by the sweet smile on his face
Right there I surrendered and I felt no disgrace
He could have been an army
The way he broke through my lines
He could have been a hurricane
The way he blew my mind
He could have been sweet Jesus
He made me feel so fine
He could have been an army
The way he broke through my lines
He could have been a hurricane
The way he blew my mind
He could have been sweet Jesus
The man he made me feel so fine
(He could have been an army)
(The way he broke through my lines)
The way he broke through my lines
(He could have been a hurricane)
He could have been a hurricane
(The way he blew my mind)
The way he blew my mind
He could have been sweet Jesus
The man made me feel so fine
