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 Z,
So, darling, just be wise,
If you're wise,
Keep your eyes on me.

The song is a cautionary tale about the perils of straying too far from home and the importance of being aware of one's surroundings.
The lyrics are simple yet effective in conveying a sense of unease and suspicion. The repetition of the phrase "I've got my eyes on you" adds to the eerie feeling of being watched. The use of the word "spies" implies a level of secrecy and intrigue, adding to the sense of foreboding.
