Bloodshot Eyes Lyrics

Now, just because you're pretty and you think you're mighty wise
You tell me that you love me, then you roll your big blue eyes
When I saw you last week your eyes were turnin' black
Go find the guy that beat you up and ask him to take you back

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you say me you been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

Now I used to spend my money just to make you look real sweet
I wanted to be proud of you when we walk down the street
But don't expect me to dress you up in a satins and in silk
When your eyes look like two cherries in a glass of buttermilk

Now don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're stolen
When you say you've been scrawling
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

Well, I guess our little romance has finally simmered down
Now you are join a circus, you'd make a real good clown
Your eyes look like a road map, I'm scared to smell your breath
You'd better shut those peepers 'fore you bleed yourself to death

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well you had your cake and eat it
So baby going feed it
But don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

(I dream and baby of your bloodshot eyes)
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
