Cherry comes from a musical family that includes sister Neneh Cherry, father Don Cherry and half-sister on his Swedish side Titiyo. Soon after he was born, he moved to New York with his father, where he began acting and playing music.

After Don Cherry's death in 1995, Eagle-Eye moved to Stockholm with his girlfriend, and he began to focus on songwriting. He soon recorded 'Desireless' (1997), and it became a hit across Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, with an American release coming in 1998. "Save Tonight" proved a major hit, and made Cherry into an international star. His second album came in 2000 (titled 'Living in the Present Future') and was remixed for the States (where it was released as 'Present/Future'), but it saw disappointing sales. Cherry's success has waxed and waned since his late 90s heyday

Eagle-Eye Cherry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've tried so hard to remember what it is that I forgot
But I can, but I can believe....... Will you now
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried
Cried and kissed goodbye
To something that we both know
Boy you blow my mind
I don't know how I'm going to

Show you what I feel for you
All I know
All I know is I....
Want to be with you

Have you ever tried to be
Have you ever tried to see
Something but you don't really know what it is
Lord but we got to try
I look at you
I hear your voice
I try to remember.......I try to remember
So don't you look at me with worried eyes
'Cause you we got to try girl
All I know
All I know is I....
Want to be with you...
Here I am and I believe
Yes I do..... What I do, What I do for you
I look at you
I hear your voice
I try to remember.......I try to remember
So don't you look at me with worried eyes
'Cause you we got to try girl
All I know

All I know is I....
Want to be with you...

I've tried so hard to remember what it is that I forgot
I've exerted utmost effort to recall what I failed to remember

But I can, but I can believe....... Will you now
I have faith that I can do it. Will you believe in me too?

I've tried, I've tried
I have attempted multiple times

Boy you blow my mind
You astonish me, boy

I don't know how I'm going to
I am uncertain of how I will

Show you what I feel for you
Demonstrate to you my sentiments

One thing I'm sure of

All I know is I....
The only certainty I have is that I...
