IN YOUR EYES
BADBADNOTGOOD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you show off I can't help it
And I know you know it's wrong but I'm ready
So just rid yourself of him and come get it
Got you enticed from the middle
You know I'm willing and able
And I know you know it's on when you're ready
Ooh, I see it in your eyes
In your eyes, every time (in your eyes)
Ooh, I see it in your eyes every time
I know there's something about me
That you can't wait to just tell me
And I love the way you move, it's so bashful
So just take my hand 'cause baby, it's natural
And I got you enticed from the middle
And I know you're willing and able
And I know you've got someone but I'm ready
So just rid yourself of him and come get it
Ooh, I see it in your eyes
In your eyes, every time (in your eyes)
Ooh, I see it in your eyes
In your eyes every time, oh, oh
I'll let you into my life
And I'll show you, oh, when it's right
Then I guess we can say we tried
Don't let this fall by the side
'Cause I can't, can't leave
And I can't, can't wait
'Cause I can't, can't leave
And I can't, can't wait
'Cause I see it in your eyes
And I feel it every time
'Cause I see it in your eyes
The lyrics to Charlotte Day Wilson's song "In Your Eyes" describe the singer's desire for someone who is in a relationship. The singer is aware that it's wrong to pursue this person, but they are unable to resist the temptation. They encourage the person to "rid" themselves of their partner and come to them instead.
The first verse suggests that whenever the person the singer desires "shows off," they can't resist them. The second verse highlights that there is something that the person the singer desires wants to tell them but is hesitant. The singer is drawn to the person's "bashful" way of moving and wishes to move forward with them.
The chorus features the singer acknowledging that they see something in the person's eyes every time they look at them. There is an unspoken desire and attraction that keeps drawing them closer, despite the fact that the other person is already in a relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to "In Your Eyes" explore the complexities of attraction and desire in situations where it may be considered wrong or unethical.

Don't blow me off so I can't help it
Please don't ignore me, I can't resist you
When you show off I can't help it
I'm drawn to you when you flaunt yourself
And I know you know it's wrong but I'm ready
I realize it's not right, but I still want you
So just rid yourself of him and come get it
Leave your current partner and be with me
Got you enticed from the middle
I have you captivated and wanting more
You know I'm willing and able
I'm eager and capable of satisfying you
And I know you know it's on when you're ready
You understand the passion we will share
Ooh, I see it in your eyes
Your desire for me is reflected in your gaze
In your eyes, every time (in your eyes)
I see it without fail in your eyes every time
I know there's something about me
You have an attraction to something specific about me
That you can't wait to just tell me
You are excited to share your feelings with me
And I love the way you move, it's so bashful
I adore the way you act shy around me
So just take my hand 'cause baby, it's natural
Let's be together because it feels right and instinctual
I'll let you into my life
I will allow you to be a part of my world
And I'll show you, oh, when it's right
I'll reveal to you when the timing is perfect
Then I guess we can say we tried
We can say we gave it our all if it doesn't work out
Don't let this fall by the side
Don't let our potential relationship slip away
'Cause I can't, can't leave
I'm unable to walk away from you
And I can't, can't wait
I'm too impatient to wait for you
'Cause I see it in your eyes
I see your passion for me in your eyes
And I feel it every time
I sense it without fail every time we are near
'Cause I see it in your eyes
Your eyes reveal everything to me

Atlanta has a brilliant soundtrack. This song is a vibe. Also, Shazam has to be one of the greatest apps of all time.
@bloodyiori
Right?! I never Shazam normally but I flew to my tv and immediately scanned this song lol
@0Mynameisearl0
Yessssir
@ROYALMOJO
Co-signing. I found some great new artists thru Shazam. I'm definitely getting an "Incognito" vibe with this group.
@SpeakRyanSpeak
@@ROYALMOJO 100%
@SpeakRyanSpeak
@@bloodyiori check out Red Room by Hiatus Kiayote too. It was on the episode as well. Same vibe. Dope song.
@AZadeh-nd8vx
If someone told me this was 60's/70's Soul Motown I'd believe it!
@maccagee693
You arent wrong, there are a couple of moments where it sounds modern but its authentic sounding.
@huntrrams
Even a bit of dusty Springfield
@kingofhearts1072
Yup, but it would be more of the B-side/experimental side of Motown. Not the straight ahead Bubblegum Pop/R&B stuff.
