Lyrics Who do you see when you turn your eyes down? Who do you see when I'm not seeing you? The news is out all over town And all these girls are taking turns at being you Chorus: Well, well, well You'd better make up your mind Honey, are you straight or are you blind? She's coming in between us, you know that she is I'm not holding on to her but one of us is My hands are in my pockets, my face is in a book She could walk 'round naked and I wouldn't sneak a look (Chorus) Honey, are you straight or are you blind? Honey, are you straight or are you blind? Honey, are you straight or are you blind? Honey, are you straight or are you blind? She walked in and your eyes flew out the door You squeezed my hand until the circulation ceases She's just a doll like so many more She's the kind of doll that you'd like to pull to pieces (Chorus) Well! Well, well, well You'd better make up your mind Honey, are you straight or are you blind?
