In Your Eyes
Mama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in complete control
That's what I tell myself
I've got a mind of my own
I'll be alright alone
Don't need anybody else
I gave myself a good talking to
No more being a fool for you
And all I remember
Is how you make me want to surrender
damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
For making me wanna say
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me fall in love again
Damn your eyes
it's always the same
You say that you'll change
Somehow you never do
I believe all your lies
But look in your eyes
You make it all seem true
I guess I see what I wanna see
Or is it my heart just deceiving me
But with a look I know so well
I fall completely under you spell
damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
For making me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me fall in love again
Damn your eyes
you keep deliberately deceiving me
Making me see what I wanna see
damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
For making me wanna say
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me fall in love again
Damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
For making me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
For making me wanna say
The lyrics of Mama's song In Your Eyes tell a story about a woman who was hurt by someone in the past and is now determined to remain independent and not let anyone hurt her again. She believes that she is in control of her life and does not need anyone else to make her happy. However, when she sees the person who hurt her again, all her resolve crumbles, and she realizes that she still has strong feelings for him. She blames his eyes for making her feel this way and for getting her hopes up high that things might be different this time. But in the end, she finds herself unable to resist his spell once again.
The theme of the song is the struggle between independence and vulnerability in relationships, and the power of attraction and love to overcome rational self-control. The lyrics show how difficult it can be to resist someone who has such a strong hold on your heart, even though your mind tells you it's not a good idea. The repeated refrain of "damn your eyes" expresses the singer's frustration and helplessness in the face of her own emotions.
Overall, Mama's song In Your Eyes is a poignant and relatable portrayal of the complex dynamics of love and desire, and the way they can both lift us up and bring us down.
