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
