I can see it in your eyes
You can hardly contain yourself with everything you feel
You say, hallelujah I'm so glad my friends made me come here
All this talent and me lookin so damn fine up in here
I'm your gift and it's your birthday
Swing it around and put it here
Baby c'mon baby c'mon
Swing it around and put it here
So now you're in my ear
Talkin 'bout how the eyes are really windows into someone's soul
And I'm supposed to act like I never heard that one before
I thought no one used those lines no more
It's just as tired now as it was then
Swing it around and put it here
Baby c'mon baby c'mon
Swing it around and put it here
Blow my mind and I'll bend right over
I'll be yours with no do-overs
But it's gonna take so much more than a promise
To move my world
To make this rock wanna roll with ya
You try to put pictures in my head
I don't know somethin 'bout have I ever rode a thoroughbred
My friend didn't buy it so you thought you'd try it on me instead
And now my eyes couldn't get further back in my head
But you still askin if my hair is really red
Baby c'mon...
Gimme somethin I can work with here
Baby c'mon baby c'mon
Gimme somethin I can work with here
Baby c'mon baby c'mon
...or swing it around and put it over there
