Angel Eyes
Unrequited Longing: The Tale of My Angel Eyes
Lyrics
Try to think that love's not around
Trying to convince oneself that love is absent.
Still it's uncomfortably near
Despite efforts, the feeling of love is still uncomfortably close.
My own heart ain't gainin' no ground
The speaker's heart is not making any progress or finding solace.
Because my Angel Eyes ain't here
The absence of "Angel Eyes" is preventing emotional fulfillment.
Angel Eyes that old devil sent
"Angel Eyes" are described as a captivating and potentially troublesome allure.
They glow unbearably bright
The eyes are exceptionally bright, emphasizing their impact.
Need I say that my love's mis-spent
The speaker acknowledges that their love has been wasted or not reciprocated.
Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight
The speaker's love has been spent in the company of "Angel Eyes."
So drink up, drink up all you people
Encouraging others to enjoy themselves, possibly as a distraction from personal troubles.
And order anything you see
An invitation to indulge in anything available.
Have fun you happy people
Wishing happiness to others, even if it contrasts with the speaker's own emotions.
The drink, and the laugh's, on me
The speaker is offering to cover the expenses of drinks and laughter for others.
Pardon me, but I gotta run
The speaker apologizes and expresses the need to leave abruptly.
The fact's uncommonly clear
The situation is clear, prompting the speaker's departure.
I gotta find who's now number one
The speaker is determined to find out who has replaced them as the significant other.
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the absence of "Angel Eyes" and the quest for the new number one.
(Short Musical Break)
Instrumental break in the music.
I gotta find who's now the number one
Repeating the determination to find the new number one.
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the absence of "Angel Eyes" and the quest for the new number one.
'Scuse me while I disappear.
A polite way of indicating the speaker's departure.
