Onion Eyes

If I have another drink

Don’t go look at me that way

It’s not because I’m shakin’

It’s the hands I’ve gotta shake

If I try to get it out

I’m just tellin’ you my fears

Who has time for that kind of talk ‘round here?

If I’m looking harsh to you

Well, those are just my onion eyes

Oh they’re blinded by the moon

Blinded by the night

If I tell you I’m okay

Don’t believe I word I say

I could break right down

Or laugh right out

You’ll never know me babe

If I scream and I shout

Like my daddy taught me to

Leaving me ashamed at night

Lost and feeling blue

If I’m looking harsh to you

Those are just my onion eyes

Oh they’re blinded by the moon

Blinded by the night

If it’s something you need

I’ll buy it for you

I was told by a man

It’s what “real men” do

If it’s something you need

And you need it from me

Don’t go make me cry

I was born a blue seed

If I tell you the truth

Some are born like rock

Some are born with skin

Layers a lot

Me, I’m tough as silk

And I break like glass

If I tell you the truth

I’m nothing like that

If I’m looking harsh to you

Well, those are just my onion eyes

Oh they’re blinded by the moon

Blinded by the night

If I’m looking harsh to you

Those are still my daddy’s eyes

Oh they’re blinded by the moon

Blinded by the night
