"Stare at You" - NKOTB
I've had so many songs drift in and out of my head in the last day or so that I didn't even get a chance to blog them all down...so let me back track just a little bit.
On the morning of Jan. 22nd, I woke up singing a newer release. One that many may not be able to admit they know and even like because of the band's former reputation. But I ain't ashamed to say that I was and still am crazy over New Kids on the Block (NKOTB)!
Regardless of what the whole "boy band" genre stereotype may be, it's still jaw-dropping to see a group of guys singing their hearts out! Especially if they're 5 boys from Boston with sexy yet subtle accents and a lot on their minds!
Sure, their lyrics aren't poetic. It's not difficult to rhyme together with forever.
And maybe the lines aren't the most original: I could be here with you, doing whatever...
But...
It's sweet and sincere. Catchy and adorable. Fun and lighthearted. And it doesn't take much to woo a teenage girl anyhow even though nowadays (almost 20 years later), we girls are now 30-something year old women who still crave a reason to blush. The boys may be all grown up, but it's nice to know that their romantic spark didn't fade away with time.
Lyrics:
I still get lost, caught in a daze
Tongue tied, just like the very first day...
I saw you and I'm so amazed
Cause the look that got me twisted still hasn't changed
Your sexy eyes never lie,
Baby, I lose myself (when they open)
Girl, forget about goin' out
Baby, I'd rather not (so, I'm hoping)
I can just stare at you forever (oh, baby)
I can be here with you doing whatever (my lady)
It's not the way you look that brings me to my knees,
It's the way you look at me
I could just stare at you forever
If forever you were staring at me
What do you see? I can't figure it out
You're talking to my heart without making a sound
I can't lose when I'm caught in your eyes (I feel like superman)
Got me up in the sky
Your sexy eyes never lie
Baby, I lose my ground... (you're so gorgeous, oh...)
Girl, forget about goin' out
Baby, I want you now...
I can just stare at you forever (oh, baby)
I can be here with you doing whatever (my lady)
It's not the way you look that brings me to my knees,
It's the way you look at me
I could just stare at you forever
If forever you were staring at me
Baby, keep the lights on
I'm gonna stare at you all night long
And we'll keep rocking 'til the sun shines
Waiting 'till the moonlight to do it again
I can just stare at you forever (oh, baby)
I can be here with you doing whatever (my lady)
It's not the way you look that brings me to my knees,
It's the way you look at me
I could just stare at you forever
If forever you were staring at me
