[Intro – spoken/soft ad-libs]
Yeah… girl you know how I see you…
Listen…
[Verse 1]
Girl the way you move your waistline slow
Like palm trees dancin’ in the evening glow
Every step you take steals another piece of me
I swear my heart forgot how to beat properly
Your skin like golden hour in Lagos town
When that sun kiss the river and the whole world drown
I don’t need no lights, no flash, no scene
You already shining brighter than anything I’ve seen
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh baby when you smile… (when you smile)
Time forgets to walk… (time forgets)
And every little thing just stops…
[Chorus]
In my eyes, in my eyes
You’re the only colour that the sky can’t hide
In my eyes, in my eyes
You’re forever summer, never saying goodbye
Oh na na na na, oh na na na na
Baby in my eyes… you’re mine, you’re mine
[Verse 2]
Your laughter sound like highlife on the radio
Old school tape deck, windows down, we rollin’ slow
Every time you whisper my name so sweet
Feels like jollof spices dancing on my heartbeat
I could write your name in every star I see
But they still wouldn’t shine half as bright as you to me
From the crown of your head to your painted toes
You’re my rhythm, my reason, my everything, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh when you touch me… (when you touch me)
Whole world feels brand new… (brand new)
Like the very first time I looked at you…
[Chorus]
In my eyes, in my eyes
You’re the only colour that the sky can’t hide
In my eyes, in my eyes
You’re forever summer, never saying goodbye
Oh na na na na, oh na na na na
Baby in my eyes… you’re mine
[Bridge – ad-libs & call-response vibe]
(You’re my baby) — Say it loud!
(You’re my lady) — All day, all night!
(Every time I close my eyes) — You’re right there
(Every time I open them) — Still right here
[Last Chorus – bigger, layered harmonies]
In my eyes… oh in my eyes
You’re the melody that never ever dies
In my eyes… forever in my eyes
You’re the moon, the sun, the stars combined
Oh na na na na na naaa
Baby in my eyes…
You’ll always be mine… mine… mine…
[Outro – fading ad-libs]
Yeah… in my eyes… only you…
Only you, baby…
Mmm, in my eyes…
