Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Jessica Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that is real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you

I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
And if its quite alright
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say its okay

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off You

I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Now trust in me when I say its okay

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay




And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

Overall Meaning

The song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Jessica Jay is a tribute to the overpowering feeling of falling in love. The lyrics illustrate the intense attraction towards the person, emphasizing that they seem "too good to be true" and that their mere presence causes a person to feel weak. The singer admits to being transfixed by the person they are addressing, expressing a desire to hold and touch them. The lyrics make it clear that the singer feels as if they have finally found love and that they are thankful for it. This sentiment is particularly evident in the line "And I thank God I'm alive," which shows that this love seems to be nothing short of miraculous in its intensity and impact.


The lyrics convey a sense of desperation as the singer implores the person they are addressing to acknowledge their feelings. The lyric "But if you feel like I feel/Please let me know that it's real" encapsulates this sense of yearning. The repetition of the phrase "I need you baby" amplifies this desperation, and the line "Don't bring me down, I pray" underscores the singer's vulnerability. Ultimately, the song captures the feeling of being unable to look away from someone, the sort of all-consuming love that makes a person feel as if they could drown in their emotions.
