If Looks Could Kill

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?
 'Cause If looks could kill
 My heart would surely have stopped beating
 Didn't expect that kind 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 thee?
 '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?
 'Cause If looks could kill
 My heart would surely have stopped beating
 Didn't expect that kind degree
 Couldn't find one good reason why
