When I Look In Your Eyes
The Romantics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look in your eyes
I get a feeling that I can't describe
It can't be wrong
No, no
Not when a feelin's comin' on this strong

Now I'm wonderin' why
I feel so good inside
When I look in your eyes

When you tell me your mine
You send a shiver runnin' up and down my spine
Could this be love
Cause you're the girl I've been dreamin' of now

I'm wonderin' why
I feel so good inside
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes

When I get you alone
It's so much different from the telephone
Don't let me go
no no
Just want to hold you like I told you so now

I'm wonderin' why
I feel so good inside




When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes

One of the most extremely underrated rock bands ever.

Joe Martin I just found them and wondered how I've never heard of them

@beavis408

Any band that uses Hiwatt amplifiers has to be good... .!

@Fretslayer2003

agree 100%

@brittanymichelle203

Sonia S , it depends on your age. Their commercial peak was 1983. They were good but hardly lionized like the Beatles

@danelogan1532

Don't forget The Smithereens

I feel sad for the people who only know this band for "What I Like About You," and the people who never knew how great the Detroit rock scene was back in the day.

@thedraytonking6730

I knew this band because of the radio 😂 lol 😅

@stephennetherton9818

For me, this was the song that got me hooked. I still think it's their best, their signature song to me.
