Lyrics
Look me in my eyes yeah
Asking for direct eye contact, seeking sincerity and connection
Tell me that you love me
Requesting affirmation of love from the other person
Tell me that you need me
Expressing the desire to be needed emotionally
Yeah yeah
Reiteration of the need for confirmation and affirmation
Look me in my eyes yeah
Repeating the call for eye contact, emphasizing its importance
Baby I don't feel the same
Admitting a change in feelings, a disconnection
But I'll say it anyway
Despite the emotional shift, expressing willingness to say "I love you"
Yeah
Reiteration of the commitment to verbalize love despite the change
Let me tell you lies yeah
Openly suggesting the intention to tell lies
Look me in my eyes
Repeated emphasis on eye contact as a precursor to deception
Look me in my eyes
-Look me in my eyes
-Let me tell you lies
-Look me in my eyes
-Look me in my eyes
-Look me in my eyes
-So I can tell you lies
Stating the purpose of eye contact is to enable the speaker to lie
Look me in my eyes
Reiteration of the request for eye contact
Yeah
A pause or acknowledgment, possibly of the impending deception
Tell me that you love me
Repeating the request for verbal affirmation of love
Just so I can tell you lies
Linking the request for love affirmation to the intent to deceive
Yeah
Reiterating the call for eye contact
Look me in my eyes
Cautioning the other person about potential consequences
yeah
-But baby when you look
-Just please don't get caught
-Stuck inside
-Yeah yeah
-It's not my fault that you like it
Asserting that the other person's liking is not the speaker's fault
But just know I'll break your heart
Forewarning of heartbreak despite the forthcoming lies
I can give you butterflies girl
Offering the potential for positive emotions but with a caveat
All you got to do is
Indicating a simple requirement for eliciting positive emotions
Look me in my eyes yeah
Repeating the request for love and need affirmation
Tell me that you love me
-Tell me that you need me
-Yeah yeah
Reiteration of the need for verbal reassurance
Look me in my eyes yeah
Reemphasizing the changed emotional state
Baby I don't feel the same
Expressing the intention to verbalize love despite emotional disconnection
But I'll say it anyway
Restating the commitment to say "I love you" despite feelings
Yeah
Reiteration of the willingness to tell lies
Let me tell you lies yeah
Repeated emphasis on the significance of eye contact for deception
Look me in my eyes
-Look me in my eyes
-Look me in my eyes
-Let me tell you lies
-Look me in my eyes
Continued emphasis on the importance of eye contact for lying
Look me in my eyes
-Look me in my eyes
-So I can tell you lies
Reiterating the purpose of eye contact as a means to deceive
