Close Your Eyes
Sisqo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got something to say
Yeah
Uh yeah, uh
Forgive me, I'm guilty
I'm filthy, baby cleanse me
I'm empty and
I'm ready to change, oh
No more lies, no more lust
F*** a slut, for us,
Ain't worth us
Girl I'm ready to change
So I'll no longer be that way
Close your eyes
[Chorus]
Close both your eyes
Put your hands to the sky
Just surrender to me
And I'll be your lover
For always
Close both your eyes
Put your hands to the sky
Just surrender to me
And I'll be your lover
For always
So why should you, believe me?
I've broken your trust constantly
Ironically, it sounds the same, ooh
But I've made up my heart
And if you believe
I swear on my life
I will always be, your shelter
Forever, through the weather
Together baby
[Chorus]
Baby, sorry I just keep lying to you
I'm grown up now, and
I was a boy before
(Oh yeah)
But now I'm a man
(I will never hurt you again)
And I'll never hurt you again
(I will always be your friend)
I realized you're my best friend
(Let me unleash the dragon)
Just let me be there for you
(Baby close your eyes)
[Chorus to fade]
In Sisqó's song "Close Your Eyes," he addresses his girlfriend or significant other and apologizes for his past mistakes.

He admits that he is guilty and dirty, but he wants to be cleansed and is ready to change his ways. Sisqó is committed to being loyal and devoted to his partner, saying that he is done with lies and lust. He wants to be a better man and is asking his significant other to "close your eyes" and surrender to him so that he can be her lover forever.
The song's first verse demonstrates Sisqó's willingness to change and his desire to start anew. He asks his partner to forgive him for his past actions and promises to commit to a more faithful and respectful relationship. In the second verse, Sisqó addresses his insecurities and doubts about his partner's faith in him. He admits to breaking her trust repeatedly and acknowledges that it sounds like the same old excuses he has made in the past. However, he claims that he has made up his heart and is willing to swear on his life that he will always be there for her, through thick and thin.
The chorus is a plea for Sisqó's partner to trust him and surrender to him completely. He asks her to close her eyes and put her hands to the sky, and he promises to be there for her as her lover for always. The closing verse is an assurance that Sisqó has recognized his mistakes, grown up, and become a man who is willing to be a supportive and loving friend to his partner.
