Eels - That Look You Give That Guy Lyrics






I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
I see you with your man
Your eyes just shine
While he stands tall
And walking proud

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that guy
Instead of me
I'd never let you down

It always seems like you're going somewhere
Better than you've been before
While I go to sleep and I dream all night
Of you knocking at my door

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that guy
Instead of me
I'd be all I can be

I'm nothing like what I'd like to be
I'm nothing much I know it's true
I lack the style and the pedigree
And my chances are so few

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that guy
Instead of me
I'd give you all I got

I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
But if, let's say, it won't work out
You know where I can be found

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that guy
Instead of me
I'd never let you down
I'd never let you down

  17. a.... a....

    mehmet güreli

  18. L.... T....

    qui est là grace à Angèle?????

  19. S.... K....

    This must be the saddest song I've listened so far. It really translates the feeling of completely giving up on yourself for someone, to the point of wishing to be someone else.

  20. C.... K....

    I NEED THIS SONG ON SPOTIFY

    C.... K....

    It is on Spotify

  21. A.... M....

    Quotidien 👉👈 Angèle merci

  22. j.... b....

    une superbe chanson👍

  23. b.... ....

    Coup de soleil de Cocciante plus jai encore rêver d'elle de il était une fois ajouté de paroles anglo-saxones sa fait ça .

  24. F.... S....

    Y'a longtemps que j'avais pas kiffé une chanson

    F.... S....

    Richard Cocciante coup de soleil plagiat

  25. F.... M....

    Putain, mais qu'est ce que foutent les Français ici ?
    Je ne savais pas que certains Français (plus que je ne le pensais) écoutaient de la bonne musique ; je croyais être seul et désespéré dans la compréhension entière de la musique et de ses mots à maux après mots jusqu'à nos oreilles.
    Vive nous !!!

    F.... M....

    Tu dois être sacrément stupide pour penser que les Français n'écoutent pas de la bonne musique. Sors de chez toi et va rencontrer des gens, ça ne te fera pas de mal.

    F.... M....

    tu pues la defaite et le mépris

    F.... M....

    @LiliElbe et adr les trous de balle, sortez le titre de cette chanson autour de vous et vous verrez bien, les gros abrutis imbéciles sans cervelle, non ceci vous définit mieux, bande d'espèces de vieilles folles chiennes schizophrènes furieuses suceuses de conneries et contrariées qui se sentent supérieures aux autres, et le mépris je vous le laisse bandes de petites s*****

    F.... M....

    @Julian Boutaib merci pour ton commentaire, enfin un commentaire censé et qui explique tout, non comme les deux abrutis du dessus. Merci pour l'explication, je comprends mieux la débilité des commentaires des gosses du dessus. En vrai et en bref, ils ne savent pas chercher la musique par eux-mêmes, je ne m'y étais pas trompé

    F.... M....

    Quel abruti parfait...

  27. r.... ....

  36. n.... o....

    I grew up with Eels, Mr E!'s voice calms me down. The music makes me mellow. I'm so happy to have this kind of music.

  37. I.... R....

    so he asked me while i played, "why do i like this song?" .. uhh...

  38. E.... O....

    Le Coup de soleil
    Richard Cocciante

  39. z.... ....

    Prachtig dus, merci. Top song. Covered nicely by Zesde Metaal from Belgium. But the original wins

  40. T.... V....

    I will never forget the look in that dog's eyes...

  41. C.... B....

    j'pourais l'écrire 100 fois!💋

    C.... B....

    C.... B....

    @Christelle Brissaud tu as raison la musique c'est un truque de sensation avant tout !!!

    C.... B....

    @Plat du Pied Sécurité bin oui plagia ou pas ont s'en fou !!

  42. A.... Y....

    sampled to coup de soleil of Riccardo Cocciante

  43. B.... S....

    Bob's girl loves this song 😚

    B.... S....

    🤔. I've got it all worked out .. don't worry 'bout a thing

  44. t.... ....

    i AM.... Sad. this song is sad

  45. A.... ....

    One of the all time greatest heartbreaker songs

  46. �.... �....

    Гражданская оборона - Так (Как в покинутом городе...) (1997/2005) Плагиат?

    Elle est tellement belle

  48. D.... �....

    Algum Br ai curte Eels?

  49. C.... B....

    C'est la plus jolie mélodie de la terre!😊😘

  50. C.... ....

    Thanks from France for this magic moment

  51. S.... ....

    Ребята, это круто!

  52. S.... M....

    Ici après Angèle ?

  53. l.... ....

    Love u Mark

  54. E.... H....

    R.I.P. Bobby Jr.! He was an awesome dog. Very much loved by E.

  55. S.... ....

    I love this song. I'm 35 and so far I have had little to no luck in love. Mark sings exactly those things you're not supposed to say (because they lessen your changes with women even further) but you think all the time: I'm a loser, I know I'm not good for you, take me if it won't work out with that cooler guy. It feels so liberating to hear someone simply sing these things aloud.

    S.... ....

    Women have become really choosy nowadays....and sometimes you feel that you will be alone forever

    S.... ....

    G r tut t er tztztz er tr tze r retterettet rrtttt tf2f rezeptfreiert Gott er greetz t gzT er tr RT Ritter t gzT r tret Terret get

  56. S.... ....

    Вещь!

  57. L.... V....

    Beautiful.

    Still making me feel despair, passion and eagerness for another love story. Tons of emotions and memories everytime. It hurts a bit, but I eventually play this song.

    For my part, I end up thinking there's only one guy, double faced.

    " I'd be all I can be " next time ! (and I'll try not to f*ck it all up)

  58. E.... C....

    Best song ever

  59. S.... ....

    Интересный голос, как буд-то сразу с примочкой.

  60. E.... L....

    when you try yo be perfect but feel like some sort of Jabba the utt

  61. A.... G....

    Cuando me enviaron esta canción ni atención le presté, puedo decir que después de tanto tiempo entiendo todo lo lindo de esta. 😍

  62. A.... V....

    I want to die

  63. M.... ....

    This is pretty great tho

  64. A.... 1....

    Still love this song despite replaying it so much throughout the years. It just gives off the feeling that you want to cry, but you just can't for some reason.

  65. P.... B....

    La zona della sorellan

  66. L.... M....

    Great song… I can't help from feeling that somebody here has been listening to The Beatles half his life at least...

  67. J.... P....

    Un prodige 👌🏻

  68. m.... c....

    this song it is so good because i think that every one at least for once had that feeling so isolated but still pretty much so pure

  69. K.... B....

    Second captains anyone?

  70. A.... D....

    Oh le plagiat!

  71. M.... C....

    U R hi.........

  72. V.... T....

    Un frère brought me here.

  73. j.... r....

    so sad and beautiful

  74. M.... M....

    The beautiful part of this song is that there is not a single bad tough about "the other guy", he doesn't want nothing bad for him. He just want to be (like) him.
    He says "if i can be that guy, instead of me" not "if could be me, instead of that guy", totally different intents. Awesome lyrics

  75. R.... V....

    Mister MV a grave géchan

  76. L.... T....

    It's a little 'nice guy' isn't it? "If things go wrong with this guy you really obviously love, don't worry! I'm waiting on the sidelines! Just gimme a chance!! MAKE ME FEEL LIKE WHO I WANT TO BE"

    I like eels, and I do quite like this song, but if the message of the song was in a text message directed at me or a friend I'd be slightly creeped out.

    It gives off the impression that the recipient holds the key to his happiness and that's untrue/ a lot of pressure to put on someone (especially when they're in a relationship). The way he sees her is a little odd, is all, ignoring that though it's still real good :D

  77. l.... b....

    Merci angèle !!!!

  78. n.... ....

    why don't like ice cream

  79. M.... T....

    Le Coup de Soleil - Richard Cocciante

  81. _.... Y....

    _.... Y....

    I love Richard Cocciante song... she had a reprise mix english/french au piano and just brought me here to english version, i never heard about this english song untill Angeles reprise! Sublime!

  82. N.... ....

    Et mercèèè Angèle

  83. C.... A....

    Merci Angele

    C.... A....

    @Thomas B Les paroles ne font pas tout dans une chanson (et mon niveau en anglais est assez correct). Je chante depuis plusieurs années dans un petit groupe amateur. On fait des reprises de standards anglais, mais pas que (new wave post punk). On voulait reprendre ce morceau. Après une heure à le bosser, on ne l'a pas gardé. C'est chiant comme la mort. Sur ce, bonnes fêtes de fin d'année.

    C.... A....

    Pareil à l'instant après avoir entendu son mix avec "J'ai attrapé un coup d'soleil". Merci cette chanson est magnifique!

    C.... A....

    Ouais merci

    C.... A....

    Je suis pas le seul avoir connu cette chanson grâce a Angèle 😂👍

    C.... A....

    @Nathan Bart ouais moi aussi

  84. F.... B....

    Love, Rosie vibes

  85. R.... B....

    excellent video. :D

  86. S.... M....

    I'm français, i dont speak anglais, but i like ou love.

  87. T.... K....

    J’ai attrapé un coup de soleil, comme j’étais rouge je suis allé chercher une autre source de lumière pour blanchir ma peau et j’ai trouvé cette chanson. Ainsi elle est mon soleil de jour et la lune de mes rêves. Je croix que je suis amoureuse...

  88. D.... T....

    i hear beatles vibes melted together with randy newman and costello

  89. J.... S....

    I just love .... The eels seen
