Look Into My Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look into my eyes
Let them hypnotize
These eyes long to make you a perfect work of art
[Verse 2]
Fall in love with me (fall in love with me)
Only then you'll see (Only then you'll see)
What these eyes have been planning for you
[Bridge]
You lift my heart when I fly
Good morning, good night
It's a brave new world dawning, a lover's fantasy
[Verse 3]
Look into my eyes (look into my eyes)
Fall in love with me (fall in love with me)
And we'll both watch the sun kiss the sea
[Musical Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Fall in love with me
'Cross the golden sand
There's a road winding up into sun rays
Look into my eyes
Let them hypnotize
These eyes long to make you a perfect work of art
[Verse 2]
Fall in love with me (fall in love with me)
Only then you'll see (Only then you'll see)
What these eyes have been planning for you
[Bridge]
You lift my heart when I fly
Good morning, good night
It's a brave new world dawning, a lover's fantasy
[Verse 3]
Look into my eyes (look into my eyes)
Fall in love with me (fall in love with me)
And we'll both watch the sun kiss the sea
[Musical Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Fall in love with me
'Cross the golden sand
There's a road winding up into sun rays
[Verse 5]
May the staircase winding down
Think of all the heavens that you felt
May our love be so bright and so true
[Outro]
May our love be so brave and so true
May the staircase winding down
Think of all the heavens that you felt
May our love be so bright and so true
[Outro]
May our love be so brave and so true
About
Genius Annotation
“Look Into My Eyes” is a seductive song, which features descriptions of exotic, romanticized scenes. Monáe wants to hypnotize the listener, and invite them to come along on her journey.
Both this and “Dororthy Dandridge Eyes” from The Electric Lady show how Monáe feels about one’s gaze. She feels that eyes are revealing to a soul. There is a reason they are often called the most intriguing part of an artist’s painting. Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is often noted by her eyes and smile. Someone can just look at certain individual’s eyes and instantly fall in love.
