Naked To The Eye Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

Been walking these streets, been deciding what's true 

Been hands in my pockets, coat collar up, thinking `bout you 

I've been talking to myself, giving fate the third degree 

I've been eyes on the pavement admitting my part to strangers passing me 

And I know it isn't fair, but nothing's ever been 

Hey when you look at me baby, my god how I feel so good again 

I don't know where I went wrong, but it isn't right to lie 

Hey when you look at me baby, my hearts wide open, naked to the eye 

Now some lovers are apart, but they're never far away 

I can see her in your eyes, hear her in your voice and I have to turn away 

Oh what covet is to ache, is what aching is to me 

For the arms of a man who knows who I am and where I need to be 

And if I know what I know, then the lonely can't pretend 

When you look at me baby, my god how I feel so whole again 

Is there heaven after all, or just this empty space 

That no amount of time, nor comfort in it's hands can ever help me face 

Which is worse is yet to come, your rebuff or my resign 

Hey when you look at me baby, I'm helpless as a child, naked to the eye 

It's like a fever and a spell, unbroken by a sigh 

Oh when you look at me baby I'm going nowhere, just naked to the eye 

Yeah when you look at me baby, everythings there, naked to the eye 

Hey when you look at me baby, I haven't got a prayer, naked to the eye
