Hooked
Captivated by Love's Allure: Jimmy Reiter's 'Hooked' Tale
Lyrics
Just a little smile
Expressing the impact of a small, charming smile.
That's all it took
Highlighting the simplicity of what caught the speaker's attention.
Just a little smile
Reiteration of the captivating nature of a modest smile.
That's all it took
Repeating the idea that a small smile had a significant effect.
Could see it coming by a mile
Suggesting that the speaker foresaw the romantic interest from a distance.
And still I'm danglin' on your hook
Metaphorically portraying the speaker as hooked or captivated by the person's charm.
I saw you castin' out your line
Observing the person actively showing interest in the speaker.
I couldn't help but take the bait
Admitting the speaker's inability to resist the attraction.
I saw you castin' out your line
Repeating the image of the person making a romantic gesture.
I couldn't help but take the bait
Emphasizing the speaker's susceptibility to the romantic advances.
Cause baby you so doggone fine
Complimenting the person's attractiveness.
And now I'm right here on your plate
Expressing the consequence of succumbing to the romantic attraction.
I knew right from the start
Reflecting on the realization of being emotionally attached from the beginning.
That I'd be hooked on your love
Acknowledging that the speaker foresaw becoming emotionally invested in love.
I knew right from the start
Reiterating the anticipation of falling for the person.
That I'd be hooked on your love
Confirming the inevitability of being captivated by love.
So reel me in sweetheart
Expressing a desire to be embraced by the romantic partner.
That's all that I've been dreamin' of
Describing the speaker's dreams and aspirations revolving around being with the person.
I knew right from the start
Repeating the recognition of being inevitably drawn to the person.
I'd be hooked on your love
Emphasizing the speaker's certainty about falling in love.
Said I knew right from the start
Affirming the awareness of being emotionally attached from the start.
I'd be hooked on your love
Repeating the inevitability of being captivated by love.
So reel me in sweetheart
Expressing the desire to be embraced by the romantic partner, reiterating dreams and aspirations.
That's all that I've been dreamin' of
I'm hooked on your line
Describing the speaker's attachment to the person's romantic gestures.
Like a fish in the sea
Using a fish metaphor to emphasize the depth of attachment to the romantic partner.
I'm hooked on your line
Reiterating the speaker's deep connection to the person using a fish metaphor.
Like a fish out in the sea
Continuing the metaphor, expressing contentment with being held by the partner.
But baby I don't mind
Indicating the speaker's willingness to be held and not discarded.
Don't throw me back and hold onto me
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection and commitment.
