Bette Davis Eyes [extended - 1981] - KIM CARNES

Bette Davis Eyes é o nome de uma canção, cuja versão mais conhecida foi gravada pela cantora Kim Carnes.

A canção foi escrita em 1974 por Donna Weiss e Jackie DeShannon. Neste mesmo ano DeShannon gravou a canção que foi incluída no seu álbum New Arrangement. Contudo, seria apenas em 1981 que a canção se tornaria popular, graças à versão de Kim Carnes. "Bette Davis Eyes" passou nove semanas consecutivas no primeiro lugar do Billboard Hot 100, tendo sido vendidas oito milhões de cópias do álbum Mistaken Identity, onde se incluía a canção. A canção foi galardoada com o prémio Grammy para "Canção de Ano".

Bette Davis, falecida em 1989, declarou-se fã do tema, tendo agradecido aos compositores por terem feito de si uma parte dos tempos modernos.

LETRA


Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips, sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo standoff sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
She knows you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
