《Can'tTakeMyEyesOffYou》由BobGaudio作曲,BobCrewe填词,至今已四十多年,各国歌手翻唱无数,有人统计了40个翻唱版本。
Can'tTakeMyEyesOffYou是一首翻唱比较频繁的老歌,令人惊叹的是,其版本涵盖了众多音乐流派,从RocknRoll,到MotownR&B和Disco,再到BritPop、PunkRock、Jazz、PopDance、HipHop……以至于虽然全部是相同的旋律、相同的歌词,一口气听完二十个版本却浑然不觉厌烦。
在各种不同的曲风中,感觉主要有三类比较突出,一类是拉丁抒情的,是恋爱中情侣的倾诉;一类是爵士蓝调的,适合两情人在慢摇吧欢度时光;再一类是摇滚激情的。八十年代著名的Disco组合BoysTownGang的翻唱也非常有名……甚至知名度超过了被誉为“迪斯科女皇”的GloriaGaynor的翻唱。
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby don't break me down I pray
Oh pretty baby now that I found you stay
And let me love you baby let me love you
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby don't break me down I pray
Oh pretty baby now that I found you stay
Oh pretty baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty
