As recorded by BUDDY & ELLA JOHNSON:
I want the whole world to know that I only have eyes for you
I want the whole world to know that I only have eyes for you
'Cause I don't want nobody to have my love but you
You'll be home cookin' dinner or strollin' down the avenue
You'll be home cookin' dinner or strollin' down the avenue
If my love comes down, I come runnin' smack dab to you
When it comes to you, baby, I'm just a natural goof
When it comes to you, baby, I'm just a natural goof
'Cause I don't want nobody to have my love but you
Some girls grab the first man that passes by
Others like a man for the twinkle in his eye
Some like a man 'cause he's nice and kind
But I love you, baby 'cause you're mine all mine, oh yeah
I only have eyes for you
Oh yeah, I only have eyes for you
'Cause I don't want nobody to have my love but you
++++++++++
As recorded by RONNIE MILSAP:
Yeah!
I want the whole world to know that I only have eyes for you
I want the whole world to know that I only have eyes for you
For I don't want nobody to have my love but you
I could be home havin' dinner or strollin' down the avenue
Woh, I could be home havin' dinner or strollin' down the avenue
If my love comes down, I keep runnin' smack dab to you
Yes I do, Wooohhhhhh!
(Instrumental Break)
When it comes to you, baby, I'm just a natural goof
When it comes to you, baby, I'm just a natural goof
'Cause I don't want nobody to have my love but you
Some men grab the first thing that passes by
Others like a chick for the twinkle in her eye
Some like a girl 'cause she's nice and kind
But I love you, baby 'cause you're mine all mine, oh yeah
I only have eyes for you, that's right
Woh yeah, I only have eyes for you, yes I have too
'Cause I don't want nobody to have my love but you
