It’s like something, like a midnight sun
Will you stay here a while with me ’til the light comes on
‘Cause we’re dreaming
Baby’s got a wandering eye, baby’s got a wandering eye
Baby’s got a wandering eye, baby gets to wondering why
It’s like something, like a foreign taste
Will you stay here a while in your mother’s place
‘Til you leave us for a colder place, that’s right
Baby’s got a wandering eye, baby gets to wondering why
When it cools down, put it on my plate
And forgive us though we hesitate
‘Cause we’re learning
Baby’s got a wandering eye
Let’s go watching when they burn the whole damn place
When you meet us with your cold embrace
But you dress nice
Baby’s got a wandering eye, baby gets to wondering why, baby gets to wondering why
And it’s late now, what you doing awake
And forgive us though we hesitate
‘Cause we’re learning
Baby gets to wondering why
It’s so late now, what you doing awake
You gotta whisper ’cause you soul’s at stake
And we’re dreaming
Baby gets to wondering why, baby’s got a wandering eye, baby gets to wondering why
