Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain why it's right over there
Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain it, I cannot contain it

Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain why it's right over there
Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain it, I cannot contain it

We'll take a trip to the city
We'll see the sights, all so pretty
I'll happily count you as one of them
(I can't take my eyes off you)

We go looking around
We go browsing
But things quickly get out of hand

This is not the day that I had planned

Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain why it's right over there
Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain it, I cannot contain it

Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain why it's right over there
Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain it, I cannot contain it

Why are you staring at him, when I'm stood over here
And now you're looking at her and it's giving me the fear
That you don't feel about me, the way I do about you

But now you're gazing at clouds and now you're ogling trees
And now you're peeking at things that are covered in leaves
Please tell me, is there something I should know?

Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain why it's right over there
Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain it, I cannot contain it

Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain why it's right over there
Forgive my wandering eye
I cannot explain it, I cannot contain it

Should I put it in my pocket?
Should I keep it on a leash?
Whatever I do it just wants to break free

It's peering in a window with it's unblinking stare,
It's clearly fascinated with what goes on in there

Should you wear a pirate's eyepatch to try and restrict it's reach?
Maybe we could distract it if I waved around this beach

It's peering in a window with it's unblinking stare,
It's clearly fascinated with what goes on in there
