Every Breath You Take
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line 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
O 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
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

The repetition of phrases like "every breath you take" and "every step you take" emphasizes the constant surveillance and vigilance of the singer.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and heartbreak, as the singer admits that they feel lost without their partner. They dream of their face at night and desperately yearn for their embrace. Despite the pain they feel, they cannot help but continue to watch their partner, even though they know that they don't truly belong to them anymore.
