Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Cary Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though you always had the proof of it
My arms will grow
Chest expanding
Of all the boys you could have landed
Why'd it have to be me?
You, can't take my eyes off of you
You, can't take my eyes off of you
Wisdom tells me to turn away
Broken once, it's all the same
My arms will grow
Chest expanding
Of all the boys you could have landed
Why'd it have to be me?
You, can't take my eyes off of you
You, can't take my eyes off of you
The lyrics in Cary Brothers's song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" convey a sense of vulnerability and reluctance, as the singer struggles with his feelings for someone who he believes might not reciprocate them. The first line, "I've come to tell you all the truth," suggests that the singer has been holding something back, perhaps afraid to reveal his true emotions. He acknowledges that the person he is speaking to "always had the proof" of his feelings, but it seems as though he has been hesitant to act on them for fear of being hurt.
The lines "My arms will grow, chest expanding" are a physical manifestation of the singer's emotions - he is literally feeling his heart expand with love. The repetition of the line "Of all the boys you could have landed, why'd it have to be me?" suggests that the singer is still uncertain of why this person has chosen him, and perhaps doubts his own worthiness.
The chorus, "You can't take my eyes off of you," is a declaration of the singer's feelings - he is unable to look away from this person, even if he knows it is not in his best interest. The next verse again acknowledges the wisdom of turning away from someone who has hurt you in the past, but the singer is unable to resist his attraction to this person.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and apprehension, as the singer struggles to navigate his emotions and the possibility of rejection.

I've come to tell you all the truth
I feel the need to finally be honest with you
Though you always had the proof of it
Even though you already knew what I'm about to say
My arms will grow
I'm going to embrace you with open arms
Chest expanding
My heart is full of love for you
Of all the boys you could have landed
Out of all the possible options available to you
Why'd it have to be me?
Why did you choose me specifically?
You, can't take my eyes off of you
I can't seem to stop looking at you
Wisdom tells me to turn away
Logic and reasoning are advising me to stay away
Broken once, it's all the same
I've been hurt before and it feels like that situation is repeating itself
You, can't take my eyes off of you
I'm still mesmerized by you despite the risks and pain involved

I've come to tell you all the truth
Though you always had the proof of it
My arms will grow
Chest expanding
Of all the boys you could have landed
Why'd it have to be me?
You...can't take my eyes off of you
You...can't take my eyes off of you
Wisdom tells me to turn away
Broken once, it's all the same
My arms will grow
Chest expanding
Of all the boys you could have landed
Why'd it have to be me?
You...can't take my eyes off of you
You...can't take my eyes off of you
