Cant Take My Eyes Off You
Boystown Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be 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 leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that is real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you

I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
And if its quite alright
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

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be 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 need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Now 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

It’s the poppers

@mgtow316

Sadly, this being 1981, I wonder what year they both passed from the plague.

Encore une fois merci Mystic Plug Records II pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2024 comme en 1982. 42 ans et toujours pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) ! Ce morceau est sur ma playlist depuis 2013.

@YoursTrulySonikku

2000s kid here , discovering this version of the song from a silly video of a cat dancing. Instantly my favorite version of this song! This is going RIGHT into my music playlist.
