Can't Take My Eyes Off You
DDT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forget about it, get about it, get about it don't be late
I've got to stop pretending
I've thought about it, thought about it, thought about it
I want to stay....hey
Let me share your misery
Carnage makes me happy
I can't take my eyes off you
Firmly planted in the avenue
I can't take my eyes off you
Rubber necking breaks your neck in two
Accident waiting to happen
Don't think about it, think about it, think about
It's someone else
You find it fascinating
The trick about it, trick about it, trick about it
Could be you
Beyond understanding
Let 'em seek it, let 'em seek it
Beyond comprehension
Let 'em feed it, bottom feed it
I swear your drooling's hard to take
I sometimes make the same mistake
(Rubber necking breaks your heart in two)
Your smiling face
Your smashed in face
Can't explain it, now I'm captivated
The lyrics of Can't Take My Eyes Off You by DDT seem to be about someone who is watching another person, possibly a love interest, with a mix of fascination and fear. The first verse talks about the singer trying to stop pretending and wanting to stay with the person they are watching. The second verse talks about the person they are watching being an accident waiting to happen, but still finding them fascinating. The chorus repeats that the singer can't take their eyes off this person, and that even though rubber necking (gawking or staring) can break your neck in two, they can't help but keep watching. The third verse talks again about the person being beyond understanding or comprehension, and the singer finding their own fascination with the person hard to take. The final line seems to suggest that the singer is both captivated by this person and unable to explain why they feel this way.
