You're Looking At Me
Kent Stacey Lyrics

The lyrics of Kent Stacey's song "You're Looking At Me" depict a scenario where a girl believes her charms are irresistible and sets out to conquer a guy. She is convinced that she has won him over and twists his emotions to suit her whims. The song outlines the relationship dynamics of the couple before and after what appears to be a catastrophic ending. The singer sings of the girl who had the boys turning hand springs, who was crazy in love and who created a world for herself where everything aligned with her selfish goals. The girl was so sure of her conquest, but in the end, she wound up losing the contest, and the singer reiterates that by singing "You're looking at me." This line might symbolize the resolution of the conflict in the relationship, with the singer taking comfort in knowing that he has moved past the girl's harmful games.

The song contrasts the girl's false sense of security and her misplaced belief that her charms could not fail with the reality where she is exposed for the manipulator that she is. The lyrics describe how the girl was flattered and childishly convinced that she had swept the guy off his feet, only to wake up and find her dream shattered. The song subverts the typical narrative in love songs, where the male is typically the hunter and instead portrays a female character that doesn't fit the traditional gender role. In "You're Looking At Me," the girl is the one who seeks out and manipulates the guy, but she ultimately loses control of the situation, and the guy emerges as the one in power.
