Karen Mok - 這等待眼睛 (These awaiting eyes) 1993

Karen Mok has huge success in mandarin pop, but her cantopop music unfortunately never had the same impact. "These awaiting eyes" is the second single off of her debut self titled cantonese album.
The first single "來吧" (Come On) , which was such a complete flop that most people don't even know it was a single. With that being said, "These awaiting eyes" only managed to hit top 30.
Her debut album, with the lack of hit singles to support it became a commercial disaster as well.
Karen departed from the music industry for years and turned to acting and got to sing theme songs for the movies and eventually got her chance at recording music after the long hiatus and you know the rest.
It's an upbeat britpop style song.  The instrumental is tight and Karen's rendition is assertive and sensual without going overboard into tackiness.


These Awaiting Eyes
from album: Karen (1993)

Lyrics translation:

Need not, need not, need not stare at the stars
Your thoughts can't escape my eyes
I saw through you long ago
You cannot stay calm any longer

No need to neglect my intimacy
No need to refuse fun together
No need to repress your instinct
Come and honestly admit it
Tonight I want to hear about love

Chorus:
Please do not avoid it anymore
No need to play decent
Comfort is probing
These awaiting eyes

Need not, need not, need not quiver
One night love and don't be startled
Only waiting to hear you say
You can't stay clam anymore

Tonight, accept my invitation
Tonight, make firey passionate love
Tonight, let yourself loose
Come on indulge yourself tonight
Not looking for guarantees about tomorrow
