Sad Eyes
Unveiling the Heart's Secrets: Decoding Enrique Iglesias' 'Sad Eyes'
Lyrics
Every day here you come walking
Expressing the regular presence of the person being addressed.
I hold my tongue,
Choosing not to speak or express feelings.
I don't' do much talking
Minimal conversation, observing rather than talking.
You say you're happy and you're doin' fine
The person claims to be happy and doing well.
Well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time
Encouraging the person to continue, as there is time.
Because sad eyes never lie
Belief that eyes reveal true emotions, implying sadness.
Because sad eyes never lie
Reiteration of the idea that sad eyes are honest.
Well for a while I've been watching you steady
Observing the person for a while without intervening.
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
Waiting patiently until the person is ready to engage.
You show up and then you shy away
Noticing the person's presence and withdrawal.
But I know pretty soon you'll be walking this way
Anticipating the person's approach in the near future.
Because sad eyes never lie
Reaffirming the belief that sad eyes reveal the truth.
Because sad eyes never lie
Emphasizing the honesty conveyed by sad eyes.
Baby don't you know I don't care
Indicating a lack of concern or emotional attachment.
Don't you know that I've been there
Acknowledging past experiences and resilience.
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Suggesting a sense of discomfort or unease in the atmosphere.
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind
Assuring that the negative feelings will be forgotten.
I know you think you'd never be mine
Recognizing the belief that the person won't be romantically involved.
Well that's okay, baby, I don't mind
Accepting the situation without being bothered.
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Complimenting the sweetness of a shy smile.
Go ahead, I don't mind the act
Encouraging the person to continue the act.
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Observing the person dressed up for a date.
Well one more step and it'll be too late
Warning that further delay may lead to missed opportunities.
Blue blue ribbon in you hair
Noting a blue ribbon in the person's hair.
Like you're so sure I'll be standin' there
Expressing certainty that the person expects someone to be there.
I guess sad eyes never lie
Repeating the assertion that sad eyes never lie.
I guess sad eyes never lie
-I guess sad eyes never lie
-I guess sad eyes never lie
-Never lie, never lie
-Never lie
-Never lie
-Sad eyes, sad eyes, sad eyes
-Sad eyes never lie
Reaffirming the truthfulness of sad eyes.
Sad eyes, sad eyes never lie
-Never lie, never, never
-Sad eyes never lie
-Sad eyes never lie
-Sad eyes never lie
Final repetition of the belief that sad eyes never lie.
