Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't keep my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you makes me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
I can't keep my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say its okay
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
The song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Muse is a cover of the original 1967 hit by Frankie Valli. The lyrics express the singer's overwhelming admiration and love for someone who seems too good to be true.

They ask the person to let them know if their feelings are reciprocated, and they promise to love and cherish them endlessly. The chorus repeats the refrain that the singer can't take their eyes off the person they're singing to.
The lyrics also express vulnerability and insecurity as the singer acknowledges that the object of their affection makes them weak, and they can't help but stare. However, they still summon the courage to proclaim their love and ask for reassurance that it's real. The repetition of the phrase "I love you baby" underscores the depth of the singer's feelings.
Overall, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is a heartfelt love song that captures the feeling of being smitten with someone who seems too good to be true. It's a testament to the power of love to transform and uplift our lives.

Me and my wife had this as our final wedding dance...nobody knew we were doing it and when it came on people were looking around asking 'who is this and why are they having this!?' until they all recognised it was Muse, our favourite band, and the whole place erupted singing along to the chorus. Very happy memories!

I love this cover so much. It's a darker but pleasant twist on what is supposed to be an adorable song and message. I absolutely love the vibe of this cover.
Zoe Gartham
I love Muse, they are such a good band, with an eclectic style all their own, one that has evolved greatly over the years, and I have a ton of respect for them. Yes, this is a good cover. I especially like the little guitar riffs between the verses and the chorus - they are done really well. However, Frankie Valli he is not. I truly mean that with no disrespect. Frankie may have been before my time, but I grew up listening to oldies. The Four Seasons was one of my all time favorite groups, and this is still, to this day, one of my top 3 songs of all time. I have so many memories tied to this song, the original, that as amazing as this cover is, it will never be better (for me) than the original.

@Zoe Gartham Well said! A great cover is a great cover, but nothing beats the original :)

This song, in my opinion, is the ultimate song to sing to your lover in a public place to embarass them/show your undying love for them. xD
