Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Shawn Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't take my eyes off of you
You're just like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I just thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothin' else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
So if you feel how I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
For the lonely nights
My pretty baby
Just know that it's true
Oh, pretty baby
Don't hold me down, I pray
I need you, baby
Now that I've found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off of you
You're just like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I just thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
For the lonely nights
I need you, baby
Just know that it's true, yeah
Oh, pretty baby
Don't hold me down, I pray
I need you, baby
Now that I've found you, stay
Let me love you, baby
Let me love you
The lyrics to Shawn Mendes's song "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You" tells the story of a love that is so true and pure that the singer cannot help but stare at their significant other. The verses establish that this love is precious and rare, something that the singer has been searching for all their life.
In the pre-chorus, the singer acknowledges that they are staring, but they cannot help it because the sight of their lover leaves them weak. They are speechless, captivated by every move their lover makes. The singer pleads with their lover to confirm if they feel the same way about their love.
In the chorus, the singer declares their undying love for their significant other and how it has brought meaning to their life. They cannot take their eyes off of them no matter what they do. They promise to be there for their lover for as long as they need them.
The bridge amplifies the desperation of the singer to keep their lover close to them. They ask their lover to not hold them down and ask them to stay by their side. The last lines of the song are a sweet plea to let them love them and a restatement of the chorus.
Overall, the song is about a love that has given the singer a purpose and a reason to celebrate life every day.
