Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Stan Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You′re just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You′d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank god I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can′t take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There′s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You′re just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

I love you, baby
And if it′s quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay




And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
