Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I′ll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
I′ll be watching you
(Every step you take)
(Every move you make)
(Every breath you take, take, take)
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Oh, can′t you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make (move you make
Every vow you break (vow you break)
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I′ll be watching you
I'll be watching you
(Every step you take)
(Every move you make)
(Every breath you take)
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
I′ll be watching you
I'll be watching you (oh, oh-oh)
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I′ll be watching you
I'll be watching you
