what she sees in me chris young lyrics
Here are the full lyrics to “What She Sees in Me” by Chris Young , released in 2024 as part of his album Young Love & Saturday Nights.
Full Lyrics
Started out as childhood friends
Started looking out for her, even back then
She was always looking to get into something
Causing a big deal and calling it nothing
Life of the party with a smile that lit up the room
She used to call me, talk a while about some other dude
Treating her wrong, I was always the shoulder she’d cry on
Now, I get to see how pretty she is when she wakes up
I get to see how perfect she is with no makeup
I can see us twenty years from now on an old porch swing
I still see her in every dream
I can see her faith when it gets tough
I can see her grace when I mess up
I can see how far she is out of my league
But I still can’t see what she sees in me
What she sees in me
The way my name rolls off of her lips
It blows me away, I didn’t know that this
Kind of love could even be real, I
I didn’t think that every morning for the rest of my life
I’d get to see how pretty she is when she wakes up
I get to see how perfect she is with no makeup
I can see us twenty years from now on an old porch swing
I still see her in every dream
I can see her faith when it gets tough
I can see her grace when I mess up
I can see how far she is out of my league
But I still can’t see what she sees in me
Yeah
I get to see how pretty she is when she wakes up
I get to see how perfect she is with no makeup
I can see us twenty years from now on an old porch swing
I still see her in every dream
I can see her faith when it gets tough
I can see her grace when I mess up
I can see how far she is out of my league
But I still can’t see what she sees in me
What she sees in me
Yeah, what she sees in me
What the Song Is About
The song is a tender, self‑reflective love story about two people who grew up as childhood friends. Chris Young sings from the perspective of someone who once was just the “shoulder she’d cry on” while she dealt with other guys, but now finds himself in a real, lasting relationship with her.
He repeatedly lists things he can see in her—her faith, her grace, her beauty, their future together—but he’s stunned that she would choose him, unable to figure out “what she sees in me”. The repeated line captures a classic feeling in romance: being deeply loved while still feeling a little surprised you’re the one who got chosen.
