I saw her look and I realised
She was seducing my man with her eyes
And yet I couldn't blame him 'cause she was delicious
And you smiled reassurance and still I was jealous
Then you took me home and finally alone

And nobody's takin' my ma-an

Oh-oh-oh
Ships in the night with eyes that are flashin'
Flirtin' and passin' with time on their hands
She's a ship in the night lookin' for l
