For Your Eyes Only
Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's unplug the phone
Pretend that there is no, one home
Turn the lights down low
I'll draw the blinds
I think it's time to stop the show
Baby relax, lay back on the bed
You don't have to move, I'll do the rest
This is for your eyes only
This is for your eyes only, yeah
I'm takin' off my clothes
Baby I'm in control
This is for your eyes alone
Take it nice and slow
Hold back the flow
I want you to last all night
You have to go on, you got to be strong
Boy I want to do you right
Look but don't touch
I want you to plead
Don't close your eyes, I want you to see
This is for your eyes only
This is for your eyes only, yeah
There's a mirror on the wall
Baby let's do it all
This is for your eyes alone
Oh it feels so good
Just like I knew, it would
Keep it going on strong
And we'll go on and on and on
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Baby relax, lay back on the bed
You don't have to move I'll do the rest
This is for your eyes only
This is for your eyes only, yeah
I'm takin' off my clothes
Baby I'm in control
This is for your eyes alone
For your eyes only
For your eyes only
For your eyes only
For your eyes only
For your eyes only
For your eyes only
For your eyes only
The song "For Your Eyes Only" by Louise talks about an intimate encounter between two people where they turn off all distractions including the television and unplugging the phone so they can have each other's undivided attention. The song then goes on to describe the woman taking control, undressing and pleasing her partner. She encourages her partner to take it slow and hold back in order to make it last all night, while also creating a visual experience for him by adding a mirror to the room. The chorus repeats "For your eyes only" emphasizing the privacy and intimacy of the moment.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a sexual fantasy of Louise or the singer she is portraying in the song. It is a display of confidence because the woman is taking control, but also shows vulnerability as she wants her partner to see everything she is doing. In addition, the song can also be seen as creating a safe space between two people where they can be honest and intimate with each other.
