Make Up
Eve Feat. Will.i.am Lyrics

Baby, baby, when you're looking deep in my eyes
Addressing the listener with affection and implying intimacy.

I know you're seeing past my make-up
Acknowledging that the listener is seeing through her exterior and into her true self.

Into the little girl that used to hide out and cry
Referencing her past traumas and suggesting that the listener understands her deeply.

When her parents fought Tryin' to be strong
Describing a specific trauma she experienced as a child and her coping mechanisms.

You can see the hurt in me
Suggesting that the listener can see her true emotions even when she tries to hide them.

The cover-ups so secretly
Acknowledging that she tries to conceal her pain from others.

And all that I aspire to be You see, you see
Sharing her hopes and dreams with the listener and suggesting that they understand and support her.

You know who I really am No entourage or caravan
Suggesting that the listener knows her true self beyond any external façade.

And do you even give a damn About all that, tell me?
Asking the listener if they care about her beyond surface-level qualities.

Would you love me if I didn't work out Or I didn't change my natural hair? And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby I'll give you all that I got
Asking the listener if they could love her unconditionally, even if she didn't conform to societal beauty standards.

So, I don't mean to scare you now or push you away Cause I'm not tryin' to rush anything
Attempting to assure the listener that her questions are not meant to scare them off.

But when I look into your eyes I'm not scared as you say I see little you
Expressing that when she looks at the listener, she sees a vulnerable and true version of themselves.

I'm in the picture too Like a happy family tree We're together constantly This could be eventually We'll see, we'll see
Describing a possible future of them growing old together, as a happy and constantly connected family.

But all that I have got to know Is with me, baby, will you grow? Sun and rain and heavy snow Oh, tell me so now, baby
Asking the listener if they are committed to growing with her through all of life's ups and downs.

It's as simple as one and two I'm in love with you And three and four You're all I adore To the seven and eight See, I've been making mistakes Cause when you're on my mind I just can't think straight Back to the five and six I'm all in you mix, and I'm all into you Without the lipstick Without the L'Oreal You remain the same angel that I fell for you For real, for real
Expressing the depth of her feelings for the listener and her willingness to love them without any façade.

Would you love me if I didn't work out Or I didn't change my natural hair? And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby I'll give you all that I got
Reiterating her question about whether the listener could love her unconditionally.

Would you love me if I didn't work out Or I didn't change my natural hair? And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby I'll give you all that I got
Reiterating her question about whether the listener could love her unconditionally.
