Look What You've Done to Me
Boz Scaggs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hope they never end this song
This could take us all night long
I looked at the moon and I felt blue
Then I looked again and I saw you
Eyes like fire in the night
Bridges burning with their light
Now I want to spend the whole night through
And honey, yes, I'd like to spend it all on you

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way

They might fade and turn to stone
Let's get crazy all alone
Hold me closer than you'd ever dare
Close your eyes and I'll be there
After all is said and done
After all you are the one
Take me up your stairs and through the door
Take me where we don't care anymore

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me, would you
Leading me to feel this way

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily




Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way

Overall Meaning

Boz Scaggs's "Look What You've Done to Me" is a love song about falling deeply in love with someone unexpected. The first verse describes the singer’s despondency before he saw the person he's fallen for. The moon seems to make him feel blue until he sees his lover, who has eyes like fire in the night. The second verse shows the singer’s change of attitude as he wants to spend the whole night with his partner. The third verse is the climax of the song as the singer implores his lover to take him up the stairs and through the door to a place where they don't care anymore.


Overall, the song is about how love can unexpectedly take hold of one's heart and leave them powerless. The singer never thought he would fall in love so deeply, and he's surprised by how much he's willing to give up for his lover. However, the chorus reminds us that this can be risky because love can drive us to do things we wouldn't normally do.

I played lead guitar for Boz Scaggs from 1979 to 1990. He wrote this song in about 15 minutes just for the Urban Cowboy soundtrack....

It is true the lucky ones of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s lived in The best era to be alive musically

@jessicaballerstadttaylor1975

It truly was. Music hasn't been music since then 😔 there's no heart or meaning behind what they're calling "music" these days.
