Eyes
Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got my eyes on you,
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
From A to Z,
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.
