Look At Me
Buddy Holly䑕 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey hey look at me and tell me
What's gonna happen to you
When you've broken too many people's hearts
And can't find anyone new

Say say look at me and tell me
About that twinkle in your eye
Is the twinkle in your eye meant for me
Or meant for some other guy

Look at me from now on
Know the love we share
Look at me from now on
Let me know you care

Hey hey look at me and tell me
What's gonna happen to you




When you've spoken sweet words of love to me
And I want to marry you

Overall Meaning

In "Look at Me," Buddy Holly's message to his lover is clear: he wants her to focus her attention on him, and he wants her to be honest about her feelings. The song is about the uncertainty of love and the fear of being left heartbroken. Holly questions whether his lover's "twinkle in [her] eye" is meant for him or someone else, and wonders what will happen to him if he too is left with a broken heart.


Throughout the song, Holly sings about the love he shares with his partner and implores her to look at him and let him know she cares. He's begging for her attention and wants her to make a commitment to him. The chorus repeats these lines, emphasizing the lyrics' importance and the singer's urgency.


The simplicity of "Look at Me" is part of what makes it so powerful. Holly's lyrics capture the angst and uncertainty of young love, while the catchy melody provides a memorable framework for his message. The song is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today.

來複習了,還在望著第三季呢

@erikandreassen6531

More please. Got them found a S1 and S2 download now I need to find S3. Reminds me back when I used to play doom, quake, and heretic not to mention duke nukem :-) lots of memories. Almost forgot that was on modems at 56kbits. I really envy the young ones these days not having to wait 15 minutes for an update to see if you won or lost. I take it back I thought I was old but at 2:05:26 this was almost before my time, nice to be young again.
