  • Time, time and again I see you staring down at me
    Now, then and again I wonder what it is that you see
    With those angry eyes
    Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down
    With those angry eyes

    You want to believe that I am not the same as you
    And now I can't conceive, oh lord, of what it is you're trying to do
    With those angry eyes
    Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down
    With those angry eyes
    What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me
    With those angry eyes

    You and I must start to realize
    Blindness binds us in a false disguise
    Can you see me through those angry eyes?

    You try to defend that you are not the one to blame
    But I'm finding it hard, my friend, when I 'm in the deadly aim
    Of those angry eyes
    Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down
    With those angry eyes
    What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me

  • George Pope from Vancouver BcMike from Mannix: "Oh Lord" is often used as a generic exclamation of frustration or other strong emotion, & isn't necessarily literally directed at God.
  • Souljay from ColoradoThough I now enjoy and appreciate the skill of the instrumental break musicians on Angry Eyes, my favorite songs back in 1972 (age 15) were certainly not "Your Momma Don't Dance" or "Angry Eyes". I preferred "A Love Song", "Danny's Song", and "Watching the River Run", for their sentimental sound and lyrics.
  • Mike from MannixThe Person to whom the singer is addressing is God. The answer is in the lyrics, "...oh Lord".
