Song title: Spanish eyes
Spanish eyes - Official 'The Promise' version
Hey little girl, is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
Baby I been watching you for a long, long time
Come close, we could have us some fun
And after the burning is done
Our ruins will shine through the night
Where you took me with your Spanish eyes
He's your Saturday night special baby, is he good to you
Does he have money, honey, like I do
Can he do the things that I'll do for you
If your answer it isn't so clear
Then maybe you should stay right here
And let your doubts slip away 'neath you sighs
Let me kiss your Spanish eyes
When the music it plays and the dancers sway with sweet emotion
And the dance floor is filled with promises of complete devotion
Close to feel your motion
Yeah, bring it on in
Come on and stretch out baby, and call your daddy home
I'm running tonight, I won't be long
I got something special baby, just meant for you
Here where the road narrows and turns
The only light's from the fire that burns
Here 'neath the coal black skies
When I look into your Spanish eyes
Into your Spanish eyes
Into your Spanish eyes
Into your Spanish eyes
Spanish eyes - "I'm on fire" version
One two three four
Hey little girl
Is your daddy home?

Spanish eyes - "Standard" version
Little Christine
We’re takin’ one more run
Secret heart, when the time has begun
Come to part
And hey, you’re the one
And now we know
My heart is sold
And though we tried
You took me with your Spanish eyes
Hey badlands
Realise
That someone else is yearnin’
Special Sunday night
And baby there’s time
Time enough to cry
With all our sad stories
And all the bad that we’ve done
And all the times we rode for glory
And ...
And you took me with your Spanish eyes
[section omitted]
Stretch out baby
And call your daddy home
Cause I’m runnin’ tonight
Couldn’t be all alone
Yes I know how something died
But baby it was just for kicks
It was just for fun
Even with all the bad that we done
They can’t say we didn’t try
And I fell for your Spanish Eyes
Saturday night special
Waitin’ in the streets
Oh come on
Talk to me, my sweet
And I’ll try to make it complete this time
Come close and let me dry your eyes
Let me try to turn the lies
...
And let me kiss your Spanish eyes
Let me kiss your Spanish eyes
Let me kiss your Spanish eyes
Let me kiss your Spanish eyes
Come here, baby
