Let me tell you people   About something I have found   I got me a brand new baby   Because her eyes are brown      Don't get yourself a blue-eyed girl   Because she just won't do   Green eyes be the same thing   They be the death of you      I got me trouble   She only bring you down   So if you want some true lovin'   Make sure her eyes are brown      I got me a brown-eyed girl   Brown-eyed girl, brown-eyed girl      Let me tell you people   About something I have found   I got me a brand new baby   Because her eyes are brown      Brown-eyed girl, brown-eyed girl   Brown-eyed girl      That's why, that's why   That's why, that's why   I got me a brown-eyed girl   Brown-eyed girl, brown-eyed girl
