Hey, tell me is he looking at me, is what she'll be saying
Yes, I'm her secret lookout friend, I'm always looking at you
But lemme get this straight, I don't wanna draw your attention
You know that she's in love with you but you don't wanna know
You hate it when she's looking (I do I do I do)
I wish that she would get enough of you
So I could let go
Don't think that I don't know what's cooking
And all those I love yous and I'll be trues and lovesick blues
(I never asked her to fall in love with me)
I know you say you never asked for that kind of thing
But neither did she and can't you see how it must be
(She never asked you for anything, whoo)
When the one you love is so unkind, so spiteful
Here is looking at you kid, and what I want you to do
Is give her your being-looked-at-permission (I do I do I do)
Then I'll be rid of having to keep watching you
Don't worry I will no way miss it
And all those I love yous and I'll be trues and lovesick blues
(I never asked her to fall in love with me)
I know you say you never asked for that kind of thing
But neither did she and can't you see how it must be
(She never asked you for anything, whoo)
When the one you love is so unkind, so spiteful
I'm sorry that you noticed cos' I tried so hard
Not to be too conspicuous (I do I do I do)
I don't care if you're angry, you won't break my heart
But I'm worried you might be suspicious
And all those I love yous and I'll be trues and lovesick blues
(I never asked her to fall in love with me)
I know you say you never asked for that kind of thing
But neither did she and can't you see how it must be
(She never asked you for anything, whoo)
When the one you love is so unkind, so spiteful
Here is looking at you kid, and what I want you to do
Is give her your being-looked-at-permission (I do I do I do)
"Tell me is he looking at me?" is what she'll be saying
Yes I'm her lookout friend (lookout friend, lookout friend)
