Just One Look by Michael Johnson Lyrics

I guess you know me better than I've ever known myself
Funny how advise is always good for someone else
You say you know what's right for me is not always right for you
You're a sculptor, a believer, and I'm the living proof

Just one look in my eyes tells the story
Just one look in my eyes gives me away
And it does no good to hide
'Cause I know that I'll confide in you anyway

I wish that you could see yourself the way that you see me
Maybe then you wouldn't be your own worst enemy
Loving you's a habit I don't have the strength to break
And I don't have to tell you, you'll see what I can't say

Just one look in my eyes tells the story
Just one look in my eyes gives me away
And it does no good to hide
'Cause I know that I'll confide in you anyway

We go through all the motions as if nothing were at stake
What's the good of that when you can't give and you can't take
I looked to you for happiness, depended on your strength
But I've learned that if it's not my own, then yours won't take the place
Just one look in my eyes tells the story
Just one look in my eyes gives me away
And it does no good to hide
'Cause I know that I'll confide in you anyway
