I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me
Hawkins Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,

I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,

To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Overall Meaning

Hawkins's song "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" tells the narrative of a person who is incredulous that their romantic interest is in love with them. From the opening lines, we learn that the singer had previously loved the person from afar, but didn't think their feelings were reciprocated. However, when the object of their affection smiled at them, they felt an undeniable thrill - this is a moment of love at first sight. But the singer still never dreamed that the other person could love them too.

The song is a lyrically simple but effective portrait of someone overwhelmed by their feelings of love for another person. The singer's disbelief is palpable, and their sense of awe and gratitude comes through in lines like, "To think that I'm the lucky one." The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "I can't believe that you're in love with me," underlines the idea that this love affair is something beyond what the singer ever imagined possible.

The lyrics can also be interpreted as a commentary on the power dynamics in relationships - the singer seems to believe that the other person is somehow "above" them, and is surprised that they could be loved in return. This speaks to a larger cultural narrative around love as something that must be earned, rather than freely given. The song ultimately celebrates the power of love to transcend those kinds of barriers and bring people together.
