My Eyes
Chanté Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I really feel
Well baby look into
My eyes
They feel
My eyes
Tell you
My eyes
My eyes
Feel
No matter
No matter
I don't care
I don't care
You'll always know the truth
By looking into
My eyes
They say there the windows to the soul
Tells it all and everybody knows
That the older you get the wiser you grow
I suppose I've been through the most, but
I smile in spite of the pain
My eyes get red sometimes from all the cryin'
If you stay boy each day I live
From the depths of my soul
Promise to give
My heart
Will
My heart
Tell you
My heart
What I feel
My heart
Feel
No matter
No matter
I don't care
I don't care
You'll always know the truth
By listening to my
My heart
Will beat for you
Only if you want me to
We go back and forth once and awhile
So I shouldn't have to say it
You should know how by now
How to hide when I'm out of tune
You know exactly what to do
Just give me an hour or two
You know I'm over it
When I give you
My kiss
My kiss
My kiss
Will tell
My kiss
What I
My kiss
Feel
No matter
No matter
I don't care
I don't care
You'll always know exactly what it is
By my kiss
Do you ever wonder
Where love comes from
Is it real or do you just imagine
Are we dreaming
Are we really here
Oh well
If there's any fear or doubt in your mind
Let me make this one thing clear
That you're all in my soul
All in my mind
If you don't believe it
Well baby look in

The song "My Eyes" by Chanté Moore is an ode to the power of nonverbal communication in a relationship. The song begins with the artist telling her lover that if he wants to know how she really feels, he should look into her eyes. She asserts that her eyes reveal her true emotions, no matter how hard she tries to conceal them. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that her eyes, heart, and kiss will always communicate her true feelings to her partner.
Moore also acknowledges that love can be complicated, and sometimes people hide their true emotions. She suggests that her partner should know how to read her when she is feeling off, but also assures him that if there is any doubt in his mind about her love, he can look into her eyes and see that he is everything to her. The song blends the joy and pain of love in a way that is both honest and poetic, celebrating the intimate connection between two people who can recognize each other's unspoken feelings.
