Watching You
Jahcoozi Lyrics

That's a good question
I am unsure of why I am standing outside your window, watching you.

Why am I standing out here alone?
I question why I am outside of your window, without any companionship.

I guess I don't know enough to come in from the rain
Perhaps I am naive to stand outside in the rain, but I cannot help it.

I was watching your window from here below
From my post beneath your window, I keep a watchful eye on you.

I think I just might stay here all day
I am so captivated by your presence that I may remain here for an entire day.

'Cause I gotta do something
I feel that I must do something, though I am uncertain what that may be.

'Cause if I can't love you
If I am unable to love you, then it is pointless to attempt to do so.

I don't want to love you
Without the possibility of loving you, I do not wish to feel any attachment towards you.

If I can't hold you
If I am unable to physically hold you, then there is no point in desiring to do so.

I don't want be thinking of you
Without the possibility of being with you, I do not wish to keep you in my thoughts.

And if you don't want me
If you possess no desire to have me, there is no reason for me to want you either.

I don't want to want you
If you do not want me, then there is no purpose in wanting you.

And if you won't see me
If you refuse to acknowledge me, I am uncertain of how to proceed.

I don't know what to do
Without any direction, I am lost in my pursuit of you.

But, oh, keep watching you
Despite the uncertainty of my situation, I will continue to keep a watchful eye on you.

Oh, I keep watching you
I remain steadfast in my determination to watch over you.

Until I see right through
Eventually, I believe I will be able to see through your facade and understand your true self.

You could throw me down a cigarette
If you offered me a cigarette, I would accept it gratefully.

I smoked my last one quite a while ago
It has been some time since I last smoked a cigarette.

No, I gave it to the man that swore he had no need
The last cigarette I possessed was given to a man who claimed he did not have one.

You know sometimes if I listen real close
From my position outside your window, I can occasionally hear things more intimately.

I can hear the dark side of the moon
At times, I can even hear the hidden, darker parts of life.

And there's always yesterday's Times, if I care to read
If I wished to distract myself, I could read yesterday's newspaper.

Sure, I'm alright, no, I'm not very cold
I am physically fine, and not particularly chilly.

You see every now and then
Occasionally, I have brief experiences.

I can feel the subway heat
I am able to sense the heat emanating from a nearby subway system.

So go on inside, I'll leave you alone
You need not worry about my presence, as I will remove myself shortly.

Anyway Bogart's on in the window down the street
Despite leaving your premises, I will continue to witness life and events from a distance.

I keep watching you, you, you
Regardless of my physical location, my focus remains upon you.
