M.C.:

I know what you're thinking

You wonder why I chose her

Out of all the ladies in the world

That's just a first impression

What good's a first impression

If you knew her like I do,

It would change your point of view-



If you could see her

If you could see her thru my eyes,

You wouldn't wonder at all.

If you could see her thru my eyes,

I guarantee you would fall

(Like I did)

When we're in public together,

I hear society moan,

But if they could see her thru my eyes,

Maybe they'd leave us alone.



How can I speak of her virtues?

I don't know where to begin.

She's clever, she's smart, she reads music,

She doesn't smoke or drink gin.

(Like I do)

Yet when we're walking together,

They sneer if I'm holding her hand,

But if they could see her thru my eyes,

Maybe they'd all understand...



[Spoken]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you,

Is there a crime to fall in love?

Can one ever choose where our heats lead us?



[Sung]

Oh, I understand your objection,

I grant my problem's not small;

But if you could see her thru my eyes,

She isn't a meeskite at all!
