Somebody's Watching Me
Rockwell Feat. Renald Francoeur Lyrics

Who's watching?
The singer is asking who is observing him

Tell me, who's watching?
The singer is demanding an answer to who is monitoring his actions

Who's watching me?
The singer is questioning who is keeping an eye on him specifically

I'm just an average man with an average life
The artist is a typical person with a standard existence

I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
The artist has a job that requires him to work all day for little reward

All I want is to be left alone in my average home
The singer desires to live a peaceful life without interference

But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone and?
Despite the singer's wish for privacy, he feels as if he is in a surreal alternate reality

I always feel like somebody's watching me
The artist consistently senses that someone is keeping tabs on him

And I have no privacy (oh, oh)
The artist's lack of personal space and privacy is causing him distress

Tell me is it just a dream?
The artist is questioning if his fear of being watched is purely imaginary

When I come home at night
The singer is describing his return from work in the evenings

I bolt the door real tight
The artist secures his entryway thoroughly to feel safe

People call me on the phone, I'm trying to avoid
The singer is ignoring calls from others

But can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid?
The singer is wondering if he is being watched through television screens, or if he is being unreasonable

When I'm in the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair
The singer is scared to clean himself while bathing

'Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
The artist is frightened that someone is present in his bathroom

People say I'm crazy, just a little touched
Others think the artist has lost his mind

But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
The singer is associating showering with the famous film Psycho and its violent scenes

That's why
This is why the singer feels like he is being watched

Who's playing tricks on me?
The artist is questioning if someone is purposefully deceiving him

I don't know anymore
The artist is unsure of what is happening to him

Are the neighbors watching me? (Who's watching?)
The artist questions if his neighbors are spying on him

Well, is the mailman watching me? (Tell me, who's watching?)
The singer wonders if the mail carrier is secretly observing him

And I don't feel safe anymore, oh, what a mess
The artist no longer feels secure in his surroundings

I wonder who's watching me now (who?), the IRS?
The singer speculates if the government agency IRS is keeping tabs on him

I can't enjoy my tea
The singer is unable to relax and enjoy a cup of tea

Can I have my privacy? (Oh, oh)
The singer wishes to be afforded personal space and solitude

Stop playing tricks on me
The artist commands whoever is deceiving him to stop doing so

Why don't they leave me be? (Oh, oh)
The artist wants to be left alone and not disturbed
