Lyrics
I've got eyes for you
I have strong romantic feelings for you.
And I keep them in a jar up in my room
I symbolically keep my feelings for you in a special place.
When you walk in they open wide
My affection intensifies when you enter the room.
Lids are gone, no place to hide
My emotions are laid bare, no secrets or barriers.
I've got eyes for you
Reiteration of having strong feelings for you.
I've got eyes for you
-I've got lips for you
I have romantic intentions expressed through my words.
Some of what they say just might be true
Some of the things I say might be true or genuine.
Well it's a scary thought I must confess
Admitting to feeling scared or uneasy about these emotions.
You're an ice cream cone in a mini-dress
Comparing the person to an enjoyable but fleeting experience.
I've got lips for you
Reiteration of romantic intentions expressed through words.
I've got lips for you
-Oh, well I think I'm going crazy
Expressing a feeling of losing control or going crazy.
I'm feeling pretty good, this isn't love
Clarifying that the intense feeling is not necessarily love.
It's just I think my body likes you
Acknowledging a strong physical attraction rather than love.
More than any body should, your body likes me too
Mutual physical attraction is recognized.
That's why I've only got eyes for you
Reaffirming exclusive romantic interest in the person.
I've got a nose for you
Expressing a strong attraction to the person's scent.
And the way you smell I wish that I had two
Expressing a desire for an even stronger connection.
Ah well you always smell a bit like gin
Describing a characteristic scent resembling gin.
You're gonna make me take to drinkin' again
Indicating the emotional impact of the person's scent.
I've got a nose for you
Reiteration of strong attraction based on scent.
I've got a nose for you
-Oh, well I think I'm going crazy
Expressing a feeling of losing control or going crazy (repeated).
I'm feeling pretty good, this isn't love
Clarifying that the intense feeling is not necessarily love (repeated).
It's just I think my body likes you
Acknowledging a strong physical attraction rather than love (repeated).
More than any body should, your body likes me too
Mutual physical attraction is recognized (repeated).
That's why I've only got eyes for you
Reaffirming exclusive romantic interest in the person (repeated).
I've got eyes for you
Final reiteration of having strong romantic feelings.
And I keep them in a jar up in my room
Symbolic reference to the preservation of these feelings.
When you walk in they open wide
Intensification of emotions upon seeing the person.
Lids are gone, no place to hide
Reiteration of the openness and vulnerability of emotions.
I've got eyes for you
Final reiteration of having strong romantic feelings.
I've got eyes for you
-I've got eyes for you
-I've got eyes for you
