Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So best beware where you roam.
I've got my eyes on you,
So don't stray too far from home.
Incidentally,
I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do
So, darling, just be wise,
Keep your eyes on me.
Incidentally,
I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do
From A to Zee,
So, darling, just be wise,
If you're wise,
Keep your eyes on me.
The lyrics of Paul Weston & His Orchestra's song "I've Got My Eyes on You" is a warning to someone who is being watched closely. The singer is telling the person to be careful of where they go and what they do because they are under scrutiny. In the first verse, the singer says that they have their eyes on this person. They are warning them not to wander too far from home because they are watching everything they do.
In the second verse, it becomes clear that the singer has spies set up to watch everything this person does. They are checking all their actions from A to Z. The singer warns the person to be wise and keep their eyes on the singer. The implication is that if the person does not heed their warning, they will be caught in the act. The chorus repeats the same message, urging the person to stay close and not stray too far.
The song carries a sense of paranoia and distrust, as if the singer is warning someone who they suspect of wrongdoing. It creates a feeling of unease and tension, and the singer's voice conveys a sense of urgency to the message.
