lyrics
Wandering Eye
Maybe you're mine and maybe I'm yours
But the world is riddled with saboteurs
I'll do every little thing that I can
But remember, honey, I'm just one man
Like a moth to a flame
I am mesmerized
I cannot be blamed
For my wandering eye
Tell about the birds and tell about the bees
Baby, they don't practice monogamy
Well, I gave my word and I took the vow
Guess I meant it then; I don't mean it now
Like a moth to a flame
I am mesmerized
I've been tied and tamed
But not euthanized
You can drag me to church, you can take me to court
You can keep the condo at the beach resort
But this is something that I can't control
I've got jittering hands and a hole in my soul
I've got jittering hands and a hole in my soul
Maybe I'm yours and maybe you're mine
Put your good dress on and sing “Auld Lang Syne”
But when midnight falls on a brand new year
You'll be fast asleep; I'll be far from here
Like a moth to a flame
I am mesmerized
Nothing stays the same
Honey, why should I?
I've been tied and tamed
But not euthanized
I cannot be blamed
For my wandering eye
