It's real, its real life, film it
It's K Dot

I love to make love
I love it when you wear them things that I like
And they slide down your thighs, everything seems alright
I love it when you put your back on my front n my tings come alive
I got a thing for them eyes, them pretty brown eyes
And them city guys look back when they see us walk by
When I see you smile, I clock that cos me and you are tight
And it's been a while since we reacted and acted wild but I
Love the fact that you trust me too
No other girls done it so it must be you
Boys will be boys and yeh, I get blusky too
But I try my best to think of you
I love the fact that you tell me anything and everything I need to know
If your girlfriends, boyfriends, boys have got dough
When your best friend's telling you 'fu*k that Kano'
I'm telling u, she's bad mindin, jealous, I'll tell her for you
I won't get violent but I know her type
I love it when you go silent when you know I'm right
See the position I'm in
People talk, don't listen they see you and wanna be in your position
And every boy's wishing it could be them and you
So I depend on you to keep them wishing
Listen to me, I lo.. I like you
Wait...nobody above, just me beside you, see

But I don't wanna fall in love
Nah, I don't wanna fall in love
But your brown eyes have got me hypnotized
Maybe we could give it a try
But I don't wanna fall in love
Nah, I don't wanna fall in love
(I can't) I don't wanna fall in love
But your brown eyes have got me hypnotized
Maybe we could give it a try
But I don't wanna fall in love

It's not official but you're mine and you know it
So when boys move to you, they move away in no time
I love that you understand sometimes I got no time
And you don't make me choose between you and studio time
I couldn't cope with you gone
I love your phone calls
Its only cool for you to call me when Eastenders is on
I don't tend to be wrong but are you right for me?
Would you link me after the show and stay up all night for me?
You want me to be faithful and I want you to be
Let's meet in the middle
Truthfully, I think how beautiful our youths can be
It used to be all about your face and your body
Now I love to be with you cos chillin with you's like my hobby
I can see me living with you, no time soon
But imagine me and you shopping with the baby in the trolley
But maybe if we fall in love too young, we'll get bored
Remember life begins at 40, and by 30 we'll be acting naughty
But if we don't, it might come back to haunt me
But if u hurt me, then I'll have to hurt you
Then if I hurt u, then will you deserve me?
But it should be you and me sittin in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G

But I don't wanna fall in love
Nah man, I don't wanna fall in love
But your brown eyes have got me hypnotized
Maybe we could give it a try
But I don't wanna fall in love

But I don't wanna fall in love
Nah, I don't wanna fall in love
But your brown eyes have got me hypnotized
Maybe we could give it a try
But I don't wanna fall in love

Nah, I don't wanna fall in love
(I can't) I don't wanna fall in love
But your brown eyes have got me hypnotized
Maybe we could give it a try
But I don't wanna fall in love

I don't wanna fall in love
I don't wanna fall in love
But your brown eyes have got me hypnotized




Maybe we could give it a try
But I don't wanna fall in love

Overall Meaning

The song "Brown Eyes" by Kano talks about the conflicting emotions that arise when considering falling in love. At first, the singer expresses his love for the physical aspects of his partner, particularly her clothing and appearance, but he also speaks about the deeper emotional bond they share. He mentions how much he trusts her, appreciates her honesty, and values her understanding of his busy schedule. However, despite all these feelings, he still does not want to fall in love, possibly fearing the complications and potential heartbreak that come with it.


The chorus repeats the conflict in the singer's head. He is hypnotized by her brown eyes, and he is willing to try to make it work, but he is also scared of falling in love. The verse about not wanting to fall in love could be interpreted as a defense mechanism used to protect himself from getting hurt. The singer is also concerned about the outside pressure from friends and others who might try to intervene in their relationship. He acknowledges the challenges of staying faithful and finding a balance with his music career, while also acknowledging the potential of a beautiful future with her and raising a family.


Overall, "Brown Eyes" is a complex exploration of the mixed feelings involved in romantic relationships, particularly in the face of external pressures and personal fears.

Kano was a legend, honestly. I had some hard times growing up man. If it wasn't for home sweet home, I'd have gone a completely different path. He kept me on track. Respect. I'll never forget him.
