One look and I knew it was her, Even from across the street Took forever for the light to change in that New York heat I didn't want to lose her So I reached out from behind I wasn't ready for her thunder Or the fire in her eyes If looks could kill I wouldn't have a breath left in me Was she so scared of all those memories Or did I take her by surprise If looks could kill My heart would surely have stopped beating Didn't expect that kind of degree Couldn't find one good reason why I thought we buried the bitterness I thought the air was clear But there was a chill over Christopher street For that time of year Was she trying to free herself From any old thoughts of these Cause as we stood there face to face It was plain enough to see If looks could kill I wouldn't have a breath left in me Was she so scared of all those memories Or did I take her by surprise If looks could kill My heart would surely have stopped beating Didn't expect that kind of degree Couldn't find one good reason why If looks could kill I wouldn't have a breath left in me Was she so scared of all those memories Did I take her by surprise Cause if looks could kill My heart would surely have stopped beating Didn't expect that kind of degree Couldn't find one good reason why If looks could kill I wouldn't have a breath left in me Was she so scared of all those memories
