in this song, a woman, maybe nessa herself, is trying to keep her partner by her side. she will do everything for him : she talks about keeping a certain body image to please him, acting like a perfect wife, and she also expresses her feelings and the fact that he doesn’t love her the same way.
[Verse 1]
Pull my hair
I carved your name in my skin
I'm all dolled up
I thought you'd like me like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Chew on ice
So I can stay this skinny
And that's the price
I'd pay to hear you say I'm pretty
[Chorus]
Keep your eyes on me, boy
Keep your eyes, keep your eyes on me
Am I your favorite toy?
Won't you play? Won't you play with me?
Right here, naked on the balcony
I love you and you love vanity
Keep your eyes on me, boy
Keep your eyes on me
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna share
I breathe you in with one kiss
If this is love
Why does my heart feel like this?
[Pre-Chorus]
Playing wife
To make you stay here with me
And that's the price
I'd pay to hear you say I'm lovely
[Chorus]
Keep your eyes on me, boy
Keep your eyes, keep your eyes on me
Am I your favorite toy?
Won't you play? Won't you play with me?
Right here, naked on the balcony
I love you and you love vanity
Keep your eyes on me, boy
Keep your eyes on me
[Bridge]
Don't you love me?
For you, I'd bleed
Keep your eyes on me
Don't you love me?
For you, I'd bleed
[Outro]
Keep your eyes on me, boy
Keep your eyes, keep your eyes on me
Keep your eyes on me, boy
Keep your eyes on me

keep your eyes on me boy i love it so much. i felt inspired by my favorite film death becomes her and i wrote the song in the perspective of a lonely housewife who can feel her husband with a wandering eye fall out of love with her. at the end of the song u can hear a woman crying
