Can't Get You off My Mind
Unspoken Desires: A Tale of Longing and Chance
Lyrics
Well you must be too shy
Expressing the belief that the person is reserved or hesitant.
Not gonna make a move
Indicating that the person won't take the initiative.
Well I guess I'm gonna have to be the one to talk to you
Taking the responsibility to initiate a conversation due to the other person's shyness.
Well I don't mind cause you look that good
Expressing a willingness to engage in conversation because of the person's attractive appearance.
I see you outside smoking on a cigarette
Observing the person smoking and seeking a light for a cigarette.
Asking you for a light you say that I should probably quit
Noting the person's suggestion to quit smoking, indicating concern.
Well All my life no one ever spoke the truth
Reflecting on a life where people seldom tell the truth.
Maybe I'm crazy baby
Considering the possibility of being perceived as crazy for believing in something genuine.
For thinking this is something true
Expressing uncertainty about the authenticity of the feelings.
Maybe I'm crazy baby
Repeating the uncertainty about the perceived craziness.
But I can't I can't I can't no
Emphasizing the inability to shake off persistent thoughts or feelings.
I can't get you off my mind
Stating the difficulty in forgetting or moving on from thoughts of the person.
From the floor up to your green eyes
Describing the captivating nature of the person, particularly their eyes.
Haven't had a man to call mine
Expressing a longing for a romantic connection after a prolonged period without one.
In a real real real long time
Highlighting the extended duration since having a meaningful romantic relationship.
I can't get you off my mind
Reiterating the persistent thoughts about the person.
Oh you better hold me tight
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and intimacy.
Haven't had a man to call mine
Reiterating the prolonged absence of a meaningful romantic connection.
In a real real real long time
Emphasizing the extended duration since experiencing a fulfilling relationship.
I met your cousin before ever even saw your face
Recalling meeting a relative of the person and hearing positive things about them.
He kept saying Arleigh just think of them holidays
Recounting the relative's advice to think about happy occasions involving the person.
I can't lie
Admitting the temptation to believe in the positive portrayal.
Sounded too good to be true
Expressing skepticism about the seemingly idealized image of the person.
