Somebody's Watching Me
Royal Gigolos Lyrics

Who's watching?
Expressing the feeling of being watched and asking who is responsible for the surveillance.

Tell me who's watching.
Requesting information about the identity of the watcher.

Who's watching me?
Asking a rhetorical question to emphasize the constant feeling of being under surveillance.

I'm just an average man, with an average life.
Describing oneself as ordinary and unremarkable.

I work from nine to five; hey hell, I pay the price.
Acknowledging the daily grind of working long hours to make ends meet.

All I want is to be left alone in my average home;
Expressing the desire for privacy and personal space in a humble abode.

But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, and
Wondering why there is a constant eerie feeling of being in a reality that is strange and out of place.

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Reiterating the central theme of the song, the constant feeling of being under surveillance.

And I have no privacy.
Expressing frustration at the lack of privacy in the current situation.

Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Repeating the same idea of being under surveillance, but with increased emphasis and stress.

Tell me is it just a dream?
Questioning whether the feeling of being watched is real or just a figment of the imagination.

When I come home at night.
Describing the typical routine of returning home after a long day at work.

I bolt the door real tight.
Taking precautions to ensure safety by locking the door securely.

People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid.
Expressing a desire to evade unwanted attention from others, even on the phone.

Well, can the people on T.V. see me.
Wondering whether the characters on TV shows can see the audience watching them, akin to feeling like the roles have been reversed.

Or am I just paranoid?
Questioning whether the paranoia of being watched is justified, or just an overreaction brought on by anxiety.

When I'm in the shower.
Describing the most vulnerable state of being naked and defenseless in the bathroom.

I'm afraid to wash my hair.
Expressing fear even in mundane tasks such as washing hair, due to the constant feeling of being under surveillance.

'Cause I might open my eyes, And find someone standing there.
Revealing the worst-case scenario of finding someone watching while in the shower, or the fear of the unknown.

People say I'm crazy.
Admitting that others might think the anxiety and paranoia are irrational and delusional.

Just a little touched.
Downplaying the gravity of the situation, as if it is just a minor issue.

But maybe showers remind me of 'Psycho' too much.
Speculating whether the fear is justified due to a popular culture reference, namely the famous Hitchcock movie 'Psycho.'

That's why. . .
Explaining the rationale behind the lingering feeling of being watched.

Are the neighbors watching?
Considering the possibility of neighbors spying on one's daily activities, which adds to the paranoia and anxiety.

Well, it's the mailman watching me:
Naming a mundane profession as a source of suspicion and anxiety regarding being watched.

And I don't feel safe anymore.
Expressing the increased danger and risk associated with the feeling of being constantly watched, even in daily life.

Oh, what a mess.
Describing the chaotic and disorganized mindset brought on by the anxiety and paranoia of being under surveillance.

I wonder who's watching me now, (WHO?) the I.R.S.?
Expressing the fear of government surveillance, which is often associated with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States.

Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Repeating the central theme of the song, with added emphasis and more heightened paranoia.

Who's playing tricks on me?
Questioning whether the feeling of being watched is part of a prank or joke.

I can't enjoy my tea.
Expressing the impact that the constant feeling of being watched has on daily activities such as drinking tea.

I want my privacy.
Stating the desire for personal privacy.

Stop playing tricks on me
Demanding an end to the anxiety-inducing activity of being under surveillance.

Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Reiterating the central theme of the song, to emphasize that the feeling of being watched is an ever-present part of life.
