Eye Contact

Call me a lover or call me a lion

Call me the minstrel of sighin'

With god as my witness

I try to grow with this

But I just can't stand by your lyin'



You say you wouldn't dare

As far as you're aware

What is fair, is fair

Let's not go there



Can you show respect

Without eye contact

?

Or else you'll take it all back



We arrived here alone and we left here together

Like birds of a cardinal feather

Drinks came and drinks went, but drugs were forever

This contract was doomed to be severed

You said that all was war in love and fair

It was more than I could bear

Don't make me go back there



But then before we saw that

We made eye contact

Taking two six packs

And then we bridge the contract



We made contact with a higher power

Love growing stronger hour by hour

There was no room for compromise

When you made me stare directly in your eyes

How do I get through this nightmare

I don't know 

Don't make me go back there, 'cause I won't go



I should have stayed in Ohio (Man!)

And now they play the last game show



Can you show respect

Without eye contact  (the more you feel, the less you know)

?

Or else you'll take it all back (I want to get you high)



How can you show respect

We made eye contact (shoot it directly in your eye)

Trying to slip back

And then we breach the contract



Can you show respect

Without eye contact

?

Or else you'll take it all back
