If You Look In Her Eyes
Composer(s): Otto Harbach; Louis A. Hirsch



A maiden's lips no longer express things that she'd have you know
She says "no," but means to say "yes" 
When you're to stay says, "Go!" 
But Mother Nature's worked out a plan
Easy for him who tries
If a girl is fooling a man
He need but watch her eyes

Language is the art to conceal 
Feelings and thoughts, we're told
Speech is silver, poets reveal
Silence they say is gold
What they mean is easily shown
Listen and you'll be wise
Close a girl's lips tight with your own
then she just can't tell lies

She'll tell you what you're to do, dear
If you'll look in her eyes
What is expected of you, dear
You will have to surmise
She may not say one word yet 
Some how you'll get a sort of knowing look
Sort of glowing look
She'll tell you what you're to do, dear
If you'll look in her eyes
