Every time I vote for a top 100 / top 500 / top 1000 / top 888
this song is in it!.
Especcially good memories to the 'bacaloa' discoversion when I was working in discoteca America in Benidorm - Spain

80´s Classic. Unusual female voice for the 80´s, but ideal for this song.

One of the top 20 80s songs...but EVERY 80s hit CD has this song...she did have a song which preceded this that was called "More Love" which put her into mainstream.

I remember roller skating in my garage to this song! I had no clue who Bette Davis even was, but I knew I loved the song...and still do. And yes, now I know!!

Default Lyrics

Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn the music on you, you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow, she 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's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home, it works her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne, she 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
Hope you're pleased 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...

Thumbs up Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes

I always LOVED this song (Still Do )

In an interview in the 80's Betty Davis stated that she both really liked the song and felt very flattered by it. Because of this song Kim Carnes actually got to meet Betty Davis...
