Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you Every breath you take Oh can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you Every breath you take I'll be watching you Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
