2 Have U
Carroll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't see anyone but you
Sha bop sha bop
Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you dear
But I can't see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
In "2 Have U," Carroll sings about being completely swept up in love with someone to the point where they are the only thing that matters in the world. The opening lines "My love must be a kind of blind love / I can't see anyone but you" emphasizes this idea of being completely blinded by love. The repetition of the phrase "sha bop sha bop" captures the effortless giddiness of being in love - it's almost like humming a tune you can't get out of your head.
The chorus gets even more specific about the tunnel vision effect of love. The singer describes looking up at the night sky and feeling like they only have eyes for their beloved. The contrast of the stars and the moon against the declaration of devotion makes it clear that nothing can compete with the love that the singer feels. The lines "I don't know if we're in a garden / Or on a crowded avenue" continue this contrast - even in a crowded and overwhelming public space, the only thing that stands out is the person that the singer is in love with.
There's something very innocent and sweet about the way that Carroll sings about love in "2 Have U." It's not complicated or overwhelming; it's just a simple, unguarded swoon for another person.

You are here and so am I
We are currently together.
Maybe millions of people go by
There could be a lot of people walking around us.
But they all disappear from view
Even if there are many people around us, they don't matter or exist to me in this moment because I'm only seeing you.
And I only have eyes for you
My love, attention, and focus are entirely on you.
