You Can
The Easybeats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off 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 is real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you

I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
And if its quite alright
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say its okay

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty 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 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

I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Now trust in me when I say its okay

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay




And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

Overall Meaning

The Easybeats's song You Can is a love song filled with affectionate, adoring lyrics that expresses much appreciation for the object of the singer's affections. The song could be seen as a joyous celebration of the power of love, and the transformative effect it can have on a person. The opening line, "You're just too good to be true" sets the tone for the entire song, as the singer gushes over their love interest, expressing awe at their magnificence and beauty, and declaring that their love is just what they have been waiting for.


The chorus expands on this theme, as the singer speaks candidly about how they simply cannot take their eyes off their love interest, and cannot imagine ever being able to. The lyrics almost imply that the very sight of the person is enough to render the singer completely helpless and in thrall, to the point of speechlessness. The verses then take on a more personal tone, with the singer admitting that they feel incredibly drawn towards their love interest, and that they desperately need their touch, their companionship, and their love to survive.
