Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching you
All of them so lovely, I can't make up my mind
But I'm lookin' at you from the corner of my eye
I can see you now, you're steppin' so high and I'm
Walking down the street watching ladies go by
Watching you (one look and I was hooked on you, baby, whoa)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (watching you)
Watching you
Watching you
There you go swayin', blowin' my mind
You've got everything groovin' in time
God gave her beauty, she carries it well
I'm staring at your heart, baby, hoping you can tell
Walking down the street watching ladies go by
Watching you (hope that you can tell that I'm watching you, love)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (with the naked eye, baby, whoa)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (you're far away, but I can still see you clearly, whoa)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (watching you)
Love at first sight oh, baby, you're blowin' my mind
I just got to let you know
Energy flowin'
I said it feels so good
I gotta tell you my name is stevie
What's yours, baby, whoa
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (I'm watching you and only you, baby, whoa ho)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (you're blowin' my mind)
Gonna do a little dance for you
Watching you
Watching you
The girl looks just right to me, ha
Combination smile, body, physique, whoa, ho
All the ladies I've seen are really fine but
Baby, I'm watching you, you're right down my line
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (oh baby)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (oh, you're right for me, you're right to the tee, baby)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you (what must I do to let you know I'm checkin' you)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) watching you (whoa, ho, ho, yi, yi, yi)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by (whoa, whoa, ho) watching you (yi-yi-yi, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, oh, oh, oh)
Walking down the street watching ladies go by (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, oh, oh, oh) watching you
Walking down the street watching ladies go by watching you
The song "Watching You" by Steve Arrington is a love song about a man who is walking down the street, watching ladies go by, but is ultimately captivated by one woman in particular. The song's lyrics express the man's admiration for the woman's physical beauty, but also her inner beauty as he is entranced by her heart. He is so taken with her that he can't resist doing a little dance to show his affection.
The repetition of the phrase "watching you" throughout the song emphasizes the man's fixation on the woman. The lyrics also suggest a feeling of love at first sight as the man is blown away by the woman's beauty from the moment he sees her. The man is hopeful that the woman can tell he is watching her and hopes to make a connection with her by introducing himself.

My parents think it's hilarious that I listen to the music that they basically raised me on, on my own time. The older I got, the more I began to appreciate it. And the more I understand why older people say modern music can never touch this. The vibe is unmatched, but a time capsule of a golden era that cannot be replicated. For the people in my age group (20's) who are here, just thank your family for putting you onto these gems.
