Lyrics
She looks like she just might
She appears as if she might embrace or hold you closely throughout the night.
Hold you tight all night
Indication that her appearance or demeanor might suggest she's tough; wishing good luck in dealing with that aspect.
You can't go by that
Despite her tough appearance, it's not a definitive factor to make a decision about her.
She looks tough, well, good luck
Her tough exterior might be challenging, but it's not a reason to overlook or ignore her.
You can't pass that one up
You shouldn't dismiss or reject her solely based on this tough exterior.
You can't go by that
Reiterating the point that her tough appearance shouldn't dictate your actions or decisions regarding her.
(You can't go by that)
Reinforcing the idea that appearances aren't everything when it comes to her.
Once she takes hold
If you become attached or involved with her,
(You can't go by that)
Once you're emotionally invested,
You can't let her go
You'll find it hard to let her go or detach yourself.
(You can't go by that)
Reaffirming the difficulty of detaching once emotionally involved with her.
Boy, I swear I've been there
The singer empathizes, claiming to have experienced a similar situation.
If she acts like she cares
If she portrays care or affection,
(You can't go by that)
That portrayal of affection isn't necessarily a reliable indicator.
Her blue eyes hypnotized
Her captivating blue eyes might entrance you,
Oh, but like they light
However, they might not accurately reflect her true intentions or character.
You can't go by that
Similar to the earlier point, her mesmerizing eyes aren't a definitive factor.
She's so smooth, she makes you think
Her smooth behavior might make you believe that you're incredibly important or special to her.
That you hang the moon
However, this might not accurately represent the reality of the situation.
You can't go by that
Emphasizing that her smooth behavior shouldn't be solely relied upon to make judgments.
(You can't go by that)
Repeated emphasis on the difficulty of detaching once emotionally involved with her.
Once she takes hold
If you become attached or involved with her,
(You can't go by that)
Once you're emotionally invested,
You can't let her go
You'll find it hard to let her go or detach yourself.
(You can't go by that)
Reiterating the difficulty of detaching once emotionally involved with her.
Boy, I swear I've been there
The singer empathizes, claiming to have experienced a similar situation.
If she acts like she cares
If she portrays care or affection,
(You can't go by that)
That portrayal of affection isn't necessarily a reliable indicator.
Your heart is headed for a fall
The singer warns that your heart is heading towards disappointment or hurt.
I can see it in your eyes
It's evident from your expression or demeanor.
If you had any sense at all
If you were sensible,
You'd just walk on by
You'd avoid getting involved.
(You can't go by that)
Reiterating the difficulty of detaching once emotionally involved with her.
Once she takes hold
If you become attached or involved with her,
(You can't go by that)
Once you're emotionally invested,
You can't let her go
You'll find it hard to let her go or detach yourself.
(You can't go by that)
Reaffirming the difficulty of detaching once emotionally involved with her.
Boy, I swear I've been there
The singer empathizes, claiming to have experienced a similar situation.
If she acts like she cares
If she portrays care or affection,
(You can't go by that)
That portrayal of affection isn't necessarily a reliable indicator.
