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
