Dorothy Dandridge Eyes - Janelle Monáe, Esperanza Spalding

Looking out the corner of her eye

As she sits alone and drinks her wine

Every man just wants to pass her by

In hopes that he can catch her eye

That glow that’s in her eye

Gives you visions in your mind

She’s from another space and time

That’s when you’ll know you’re hypnotized

Her intoxicating will not be denied

And when you touch her glove

She then becomes your drug

You fall so deep in love with the girl

It’s too late, you’re hypnotized

She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes

And you love her, you love her, you love her, you love that girl

It’s too late, you’re hypnotized

She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes

And you love her, you love that girl

Like a rare Picasso or Monet

The kind of beauty studied every day

Every woman wants her grace and style

But no one can replicate her smile

That glow that’s in her eyes

Gives you visions in your mind

She’s from another space and time

That’s when you’ll know you’re hypnotized

And her intoxicating will not be denied

And when you touch her glove

She then becomes your drug

You fall so deep in love, that girl

It’s too late, you’re hypnotized

She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes

And you love her, you love her, you love her, you love that girl

It’s too late, you’re hypnotized

She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes

And you love her, you love that girl

It’s too late, you’re hypnotized

She’s got Dorothy Dandridge eyes

And you love her, you love that girl

In your eyes we see the tiny white snowcaps of mountains

(She's got Dorothy’s eyes)

The purple glow of distant stars

The blue shine of black metal

Red rose petals falling slowly through the sunny air

Orange clouds, pink moons on the tongue of the sun

Who knew heaven could kiss just like this?
