I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU

This song began a year ago with a chord-progression picked out on guitar. Long before any words formed, I imagined it was going to a slow ballad in a Latin style, but it didn't seem to go anywhere.
When I changed the style to jazz and upped the tempo to 140, it began to take shape.
Within a week I had completed the track. Then I started to add the words. It took a day and a half.

I've Got My Eyes On You

You tell me that you'll love me until the end of time
And you'll be mine for all eternity
But what you say and what you do
are completely diff'rent things
And it feels like you're just messing with me

It comes as no surprise that you tell so many lies
Dark veils I'd never see through
You hope my love is blind but now you're gonna find
That I've got my eyes on you

Whatever time we plan to meet,
you're sure to show up late
With a fabricated reason why
But I'm telling you tonight,
that if you don't do things right
I'll have to say so long, good luck, goodbye

It comes as no surprise that you tell so many lies
Dark veils I'd never see through
You hope my love is blind but now you're gonna find
That I've got my eyes, I've got my eyes
I've got my eyes on you
