Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't know it but she had me hypnotized with those eyes
Those pretty pretty eyes and now she stood there so she
Looked at me and smile my hearts kept jumpin' and you
Know the reason why those eyes those pretty pretty eyes
And then I told her I shere go for those eyes she said
I'm sorry but she for some other guy those eyes those
Pretty pretty eyes yes when she was leaving yes I wave my
Why those eyes those pretty pretty eyes
The song "Those Eyes" by Fats Domino is a classic love song that speaks to the power of attraction and the hypnotic nature of love. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is immediately drawn to a woman's eyes, which he describes as "pretty pretty." He is so taken by her that he feels hypnotized and unable to resist her charms. However, it is later revealed that she is unavailable, as she is with another man. Despite this, the singer cannot forget her, as her eyes have a hold on him that he cannot shake.
