I Can't Keep My Eyes Off Of You
Spongebob Squarepants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't help our gravitational pull
When I stuff you with cotton candy
It reminds me you're so sweet
When we go riding, it's dandy
The way you hang on to that seat, baby
Whoa, oh baby, there isn't anything
There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you
Hey! Let go of her you patty eaters!
No! Get away!
Hiya! Hiya!
Wa-cha!
Hiya! Hiya! Ya!
Oh wah cha ya ya wah cha wah
Wah ta wah po ya ya
Ah ya ya ya ya ya!
Patty? You okay, sweetums?
I'm so sorry
I'll never let you out of my sight again
And I'll always keep you out of harm's way-yay
Oh baby, I love you so strong
That's why I'm singing this song, baby
Your looks are sweeter than honey
From your pickles to your buns, it ain't even funny
I'm coming for you, oh no, look at you
Don't worry patty, I'll take care of this
There you go, all better, oh baby
The lyrics of this song depict the love that Spongebob Squarepants has for his burger. The first verse suggests that people may ridicule him for his love for the burger, but he can't help the "gravitational pull" he feels towards it. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the idea that we can't help who we love, regardless of what others may think. The second verse uses imagery to highlight the sweetness of the burger, comparing it to cotton candy, while the reference to riding and holding on to the seat suggests the idea of a fun, rollercoaster-like ride. Spongebob notes that their love is "stronger than glue," implying that it's unbreakable, and that there's nothing he wouldn't do for the burger.
The middle section of the song breaks away from the love story and brings in some action, as Spongebob defends his beloved burger from some "patty eaters" who are trying to take it away. He uses various karate moves to fend them off and protect his burger. In the end, he apologizes to the burger for letting it out of his sight and vows to always keep it safe.
Overall, the song uses playful lyrics and humor to showcase the importance of love and devotion in our lives, even if it's for a seemingly "foolish" object like a burger.
