Can't Stop
Lalaine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw a movie it was kind of bad
Who kept talking behind my back
Got a burger and I only ate half
It was one of those days you just gotta laugh

I was walking out when you walked in
With your James Dean glasses and your Elvis pin
I smiled at you and you smiled right back
It was either love at first sight or a heart attack

Can't stop
Thinking what I'm thinking
Can't stop
Feeling what I'm feeling
Can't stop
Singing what I'm singing
Can't stop
Wanting to be with you

If I said something to him would he turn me down
Or would he be walking next to me right now
I made up my mind if I saw him again
I wouldn't walk away like I did back then

Over my shoulder
I can see him
He's calling out to me
As he walks over
My heart is beating
And I know it's meant to be

Saw a movie it was really great
Got a burger finished of my plate




The pin you were wearing you put in my hand
As I'm walking out the door with my James Dean man

Overall Meaning

In Lalaine's song Can't Stop, the singer seems to be having a pretty bad day - the kind where nothing seems to be going right. She mentions watching a bad movie, someone talking behind her back, and only being able to finish half of her burger. However, everything seems to change when she meets someone who catches her eye. This person walks in wearing "James Dean glasses" and an "Elvis pin," and when the singer smiles at him, he smiles right back. She then starts to wonder if it was love at first sight or a heart attack, setting the tone for the rest of the song.


As she sings the chorus, "Can't stop / thinking what I'm thinking / can't stop / feeling what I'm feeling / can't stop / singing what I'm singing / can't stop / wanting to be with you," it's clear that the singer has fallen head over heels for this person. She can't stop thinking about him, feeling all sorts of emotions, and singing about how much she wants to be with him. The rest of the song sees her contemplating whether or not to make a move, wondering if he'll reject her or if they're meant to be together. At the end of the song, they seem to have found their way to each other, with the person giving the singer his Elvis pin as they walk out the door together.


Overall, Can't Stop is a sweet and catchy song about a chance encounter turning into something more. Despite the bad day the singer was having, everything changes when she meets the person she's been dreaming of. It's a classic love-at-first-sight story that will resonate with anyone who's ever had their heart flutter at the sight of a special someone.
