1. Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer, perhaps best known for his songs "I've Got Your Number" and "Wives and Lovers". The only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, he released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but he didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in the early 60s. During that decade, he was rated highly by contemporaries such as Frank Sinatra. Judy Garland even reportedly called him the best jazz singer in the world, though Jones was always a straight pop singer (even with contemporary material) and merely ventured in the direction of jazz. He has won two Grammy Awards.
Having toured for decades since his 60s heyday, Jones still performs concerts around the world and remains popular on the casino circuit. Many of his tunes are included in various mutli-artist compliation albums. Some of his best-known songs are "The Impossible Dream," " "Wives And Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops and Roses" (1962, Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've 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"
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, 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 and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take (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 and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
The song "Every Breath You Take" by Jack Jones is a classic hit that depicts the stalkerish nature of a person. The lyrics follow a person who is deeply in love with someone, to the point that they watch every move the person makes. The stalker's obsession is so deep that they claim to be watching the person every breath they take, every move they make, every bond they break, every step they take, and every word they say. The singer is so lost without the person that they dream at night and can only see their face. They want the person to know that they belong to them, and they long for their embrace. The stalker's distress is so intense that they continuously cry out "Baby, baby, please."
The song's lyrics express the obsessive and possessive nature of love, and it became an instant classic upon its release in 1983. Its captivating melody and simple yet haunting lyrics made it an unforgettable hit, and it remained at the top of the Billboard charts for eight weeks. Despite its popularity, the song's dark and somewhat disturbing themes led to controversies regarding the message it conveyed. The song's writer, Sting, explains that the song is inspired by jealousy and how it can consume an individual, but the lyrics can also be interpreted as a commentary on the oppressive nature of the police force or even the government.
