Her hair is Harlow gold Her lips a sweet surprise Her hands are never cold She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on you You won't have to think twice She's pure as New York snow She's got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you She'll unease you All the better just to please you She's precocious and she knows just what It takes to make a pro blush She's got Greta Garbo stand-off sights She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll let you take her home It wets her appetite She'll lay you on her throne She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you Roll you like you were dice Until you come up blue She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you when she snows you Off your feet with the crumbs that she throws you She's ferocious and she knows just What it takes to make a pro blush All the boys think she's a spy She's got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you She'll unease you All the better just to please you She's precocious and she knows just what It takes to make a pro blush All the boys think she's a spy She's got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you She'll unease you Just to please you She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll expose you when she snows you She knows just what She's got Bette Davis Eyes
