Hungry Eyes peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart in 1987.
Originally, Eric was reluctant to produce this song for the “Dirty Dancing” soundtrack because he believed that soundtrack music had “horrible deaths”.
[Verse 1]
I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feeling that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You're mine tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I've got you in my sights
With these
[Chorus]
Hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise, I've got
Hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
[Verse 2]
I wanna hold you
So, hear me out
I wanna show you what love's all about
Darling, tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I've got you in my sights!
With these
[Chorus]
Hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise, I've got
Hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I, I've got
Hungry eyes
Now, I've got you
In my sights
With the hungry eyes
Now, did I take you
By surprise?
[Bridge]
I need you to see
This love was meant to be
[Chorus]
I've got hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise, I've got
Hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I, I've got
Hungry eyes
Now, I've got you
In my sights
With the hungry eyes
Now, did I take you
By surprise?
With my hungry eyes
I've got hungry eyes
Now, I've got you
In my sights!
With my hungry eyes
Got you in my sights
