Vicki Lawrence's, "Ships in the Night"
Misheard Lyrics:
I saw the look and I realized
She was seducing my man with her eyes
And yet I couldn't blame you
'Cause she was delicious
And you smiled me assurance
But still I was jealous
Then you took me home and found me alone
You sat myself down and you sang me this song
Baby, ships in the night
With eyes that are flashing
Splurging and passing with time on their hands
She's a ship in the night looking for love
And nobody's taking your man
After the fight I enjoyed him so
Playing my game
I'm a woman, you know
And nothing was said in the car going home
And my ego exploded, 'cause the jealousy showed
And then in our bedroom you stopped and we talked
And I crowded your thunder and sang you this song
I cannot follow through each waking day
And I know some lovely eyes get in your way
But then you're a big boy
And baby, I know when the days don't surrender
My ships sail home to me
She was seducing my man with her eyes
And yet I couldn't blame you
'Cause she was delicious
And you smiled me assurance
But still I was jealous
Then you took me home and found me alone
You sat myself down and you sang me this song
Baby, ships in the night
With eyes that are flashing
Splurging and passing with time on their hands
She's a ship in the night looking for love
And nobody's taking your man
After the fight I enjoyed him so
Playing my game
I'm a woman, you know
And nothing was said in the car going home
And my ego exploded, 'cause the jealousy showed
And then in our bedroom you stopped and we talked
And I crowded your thunder and sang you this song
I cannot follow through each waking day
And I know some lovely eyes get in your way
But then you're a big boy
And baby, I know when the days don't surrender
My ships sail home to me
Original Lyrics:
I saw her look and I realized
She was seducing my man with her eyes
And yet I couldn't blame you
For she was delicious
And you smiled me assurance
And still I was jealous
Then you took me home and finally alone
You set myself down and you sang me this song
Baby, ships in the night
Eyes that are flashing
Flirting and passing with time on their hands
She's a ship in the night looking for love
And nobody's taking your man
Acting as though I enjoyed him so
Playing my game
I'm a woman, you know
And nothing was said in the car going home
And my ego exploded, 'cause your jealousy showed
And then in our bedroom you stalked and you talked
And I quieted your thunder and sang you this song
I cannot follow through each waking day
And I know some lovely eyes get in your way
But then you're a big boy
Baby, I know when the day's sun surrenders
My ship sails home to me
She was seducing my man with her eyes
And yet I couldn't blame you
For she was delicious
And you smiled me assurance
And still I was jealous
Then you took me home and finally alone
You set myself down and you sang me this song
Baby, ships in the night
Eyes that are flashing
Flirting and passing with time on their hands
She's a ship in the night looking for love
And nobody's taking your man
Acting as though I enjoyed him so
Playing my game
I'm a woman, you know
And nothing was said in the car going home
And my ego exploded, 'cause your jealousy showed
And then in our bedroom you stalked and you talked
And I quieted your thunder and sang you this song
I cannot follow through each waking day
And I know some lovely eyes get in your way
But then you're a big boy
Baby, I know when the day's sun surrenders
My ship sails home to me
