Check You Out
Darin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stopped in my tracks
Caught in her eyes
And my heart’s beating fast
And all that chemo was this corny lie

I hope that you know CPR
‘Cause girl you take my breath away
No, I can’t believe that I just said that
What I really meant to say

Is that I know that smile has broken a couple hearts
You’re used to always getting what you want
Drop dead beautiful, knows how to knock them down
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out

Yeah, that smile has broken a couple hearts
You’re used to always getting what you want
Drop dead beautiful, knows how to knock them down
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out

I tried to relax
But my tongue kept getting tied
The star and land
But nothing seemed to come out right

Girl, I know you must be tired
‘Cause you’ve been running through my mind all day
Yeah, I know I can’t believe that I just said that
What I really meant to say

Is that I know that smile has broken a couple hearts
You’re used to always getting what you want
Drop dead beautiful, knows how to knock them down
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out

Yeah, that smile has broken a couple hearts
You’re used to always getting what you want
Drop dead beautiful, knows how to knock them down
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ch-ch-ch-check you out
Oh-oh-oh-oh, check you out
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ch-ch-ch-check you out
Oh-oh-oh-oh, check you out

Oh, that smile has broken a couple hearts
That, that smile has broken, that smile
Yeah, I know I can’t believe that I just said that
What I really meant to say

Check you out
Yeah, that smile has broken a couple hearts
You’re used to always getting what you want
Drop dead beautiful, knows how to knock them down
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ch-ch-ch-check you out
You’re used to always getting what you want
Drop dead beautiful, knows how to knock them down
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out

Check you out,
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out




Check you out,
Oh girl, oh girl, check you out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Darin's "Check You Out" tells the story of a man who is absolutely smitten by a woman whom he has just met. From the very first glance, he is completely taken by her and is having trouble controlling his thoughts and emotions. Despite his nerves, he makes an attempt to speak to her, but his words keep getting mixed up. However, he does manage to tell her that she is absolutely stunning and that her smile has the power to break hearts.


The song comes across as a bit of a playful love confession, with the singer admitting his infatuation with the woman he has just met. But beyond that, the lyrics also touch on themes of insecurity and self-doubt when it comes to confessing one's feelings. The singer's nervousness and stumbling over his words are relatable to many people who have struggled to express how they feel to someone they admire.
