Lyrics - Right Between the Eyes (duet with Emmylou Harris)

Right Between the Eyes
(from 1987's Bring Back the Night)

You came alone, so vulnerable
Looked like you really didn’t fit in
My friends all said you were a lie
But you hit me right between the eyes

I tried to treat you tenderly
For failure means an enemy
But you really cut me down to size
When you hit me right between the eyes

You looked just like the love I tried to find
How could I know what you had on your mind?

And now your meaning’s become clear
You took your love right out of here
You didn’t even say goodbye
Just hit me right between the eyes

Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
