Brown Eyes

by Fleetwood Mac - 1979

♫ Brown Eyes peaked at No. 1 in the UK and achieved a Platinum award for shipments in excess of 300,000 copies
is one of those songs that really made Tusk stand out from every other album of the day -- it is a unique song, in the music, the words, the sound, and the ideas that Christine McVie is trying to get across. Some compared it to "Over My Head" and "Say You Love Me," both off of the 1975 White Album. The feeling was that in those songs, as in others of Christine, she was feeling dumped on, but still had hope that things were going to be okay in the end. In "Brown Eyes" though, she is looking for assurance that the other person is as into the relationship as she is. The simplicity of the words is beautified by the effect of Christine smooth, husky voice and the beautiful sounds of the instruments.

Lyrics

You look at me with those brown eyes What do you want to do? Do you have to have me The way that I want you, I want you? When you look at me with those brown eyes What do you want to say? And are you just another liar? Will you take me all the way, all the way? >

You look at me with those brown eyes What do you want to do? Do you have to have me The way that I want you, I want you? When you look at me with those brown eyes What do you want to say? And are you just another liar? Will you take me all the way, all the way?
