Bloodshot Eyes

Bloodshot Eyes - Wynonie Harris

Now just because you're pretty

And you think you're mighty wise

You told me that you love me

Then you roll those big brown eyes

When I saw you last week

You're eyes were turning black

Go find the guy that beat you up

Ask him to take you back

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

I can tell you've been out on a spree

It's plain that you're lying

When you say that the children crying

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

Now I used to spend my money

To make you look real sweet

I wanted to be proud of you

When we walk down the street

Now don't ask me to dress you up

In satin and in silk

Your eyes look like a two cherries

In a glass of buttermilk

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

I can tell that you been out on a spree

It's plain that you're lying

When you say that you've been crying

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

Now I guess our little romance

Has finally simmered down

You should join the circus

You'd make a real good clown

Your eyes look like a roadmap

I'm scared to smell your breath

You'd better shut your peepers

Before you bleed to death

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

I can tell you've been out on a spree

It's plain that you're lying

When you say that child been crying

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
