Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(1, 2, 3) Hey!

I like what you're wearin'

Hey! Yes, I've fallen of course

The minute your boots touched the floor

C'mon

I'll do the best that I can

Ooh

I'll blame the rest on the music man

There's nothing I won't do

Just to get with you tonight

You know I need what you're giving me

And it's so good I can't deny

You know I can't say no

When you're dressed in brown eyes

Looking so good in brown eyes

Hey!

Right down to my sole

There's nothing that isn't yours

C'mon

If you don't have a plan (don't have a plan)

C'mon

Maybe I could be your man

Oh, nothing I won't do

Just to stay with you tonight (that's right)

C'mon

You know I need what you're giving me (what you're giving me)

And it's so good I can't deny (can't deny)

You know I can't say no

When you're dressed in brown eyes (dressed in brown eyes)

When you're dressed in brown eyes

Looking so good, looking so good in brown eyes

Looking so good in brown eyes

Looking so, looking so good

And when the feeling is right

Lean in and let me hold you tight

You know when the beat gets slow

I'm never gonna wanna let you go

Yeah

I'm never gonna wanna let you go

Yeah

Never gonna wanna let you go

(Oh yeah)

You know I need what you're giving me (what you're giving me)

You know something's going right (can't deny)

You know I can't say no

When you're dressed in brown eyes (dressed in brown eyes)

When you're dressed in brown eyes (dressed in brown eyes)

When you're looking so good in brown eyes

When you're looking so good in brown eyes

Dressed in brown eyes
