Invisible Man
98 Degrees 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
Everytime he walks by

And if your feelin down
He'll pick you up
He'll hold you close when your makin' love
He's everything you've been dreamin' of
Oh baby

Chorus:
I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Tellin' 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 don't see me baby

You probly spend hours on the phone
Talkin bout nothin' at all
It doesn't matter what the conversation
Just as long as he calls

Lost in a love so real
And so sincere
And you'll wipe away
Each others tears
Your face lights up whenever he appears

Chorus

I see you all the time baby
Huh, the way you look at him
I wish it was me sweetheart
Boy I wish it was me
But I guess it never will be

Chorus twice

Oh oh oh
oh baby
The invisible man
You don't see me girl
But I love you
Yes I love you
The invisible man
Oh oh oh
Ya ya




The invisible man
Baby, baby, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Invisible Man" by 98 Degrees describe a situation in which someone is hopelessly in love with a person who doesn't even notice their existence. The singer of the song observes the object of his affection, as they talk on the phone for hours, giggling and swooning over their new love interest. The person they are obsessing over is described in detail as someone who kisses sweet like wine, makes their heart skip a beat, and does everything they have ever wished for in a partner. The singer wishes that the person could look at him with the same longing and passion but sadly, the person doesn't even realize he exists. The song is all about unrequited love and the feeling of invisibility that comes with it.


Overall, "Invisible Man" is a powerful song about the agony of unrequited love. The song beautifully captures the emotions of a person who feels invisible to their crush, and the lyrics perfectly describe the pain of longing for someone who doesn't seem to have any interest in reciprocating those feelings. It's a relatable feeling, and one that many people have gone through at some point in their lives. The song tells a story of heartbreak and longing, with a message that's simple yet powerful: sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we can't make someone notice us.

"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]
