Invisible Man
98゜ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can hardly wait to tell all your friends
How his kisses taste sweet like wine
And how he always makes your heart skip a beat
Every time he walks by
And if you feeling down
He'll pick you up
He'll hold you close
When you're makin' love
He's every thing you've been dreaming of
Oh Baby

I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man

You probably spend hours on the phone
Talkin' 'bout nothing at all
It doesn't matter what the conversation
Just as long as he called
Lost in a love so real
And so sincere
You wipe away each other's tears
Your face lights up
Whenever he appears

I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man

I see you all the time baby
The way you look at him
I wish it was me sweetheart
Boy I wish it was me
But I guess I'll never be...

I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man

I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive




Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 98°'s song "Invisible Man" are about a man who is secretly in love with a woman who is obsessed with another man. He describes how the woman talks about this other man to her friends, about how he makes her feel and how she wishes he would notice her. The man, who is singing, wishes that the woman would look at him the way she looks at this other man. He feels invisible and unimportant to her, despite his longing for her attention. He describes how they have spoken for hours about nothing at all, and how the woman is lost in a sincere love with the other man.


The song demonstrates how difficult it can be to be in love with someone who is not reciprocating those feelings. It is a common situation, but one that is not often talked about in music. The songwriter does an excellent job of describing the depth of the singer's feelings and portrays the other man as a near-perfect romantic figure. The song highlights an all-too-real experience, which is why it resonates with so many listeners.

"Invisible Man"

You can hardly
wait to tell all your friends
How his kisses taste sweet like wine
And how he always
makes your heart skip a beat
Every time he walks by
And if you're feeling down
He'll pick you up
He'll hold you close when
you're makin' love
He's everything
you've been dreaming of
Oh baby

I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes
lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than
any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man

You probably spend
hours on the phone
Talkin' 'bout nothing at all
It doesn't matter
what the conversation
Just as long as he called
Lost in a love so real
And so sincere
You wipe away each other's tears
Your face lights up
whenever he appears

I see you all the time baby
The way you look at him
I wish it was me sweetheart
Boy I wish it was me
But I guess I'll never be...

[Chorus]
