Don′t try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don′t ask me
That′s how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinking
Don′t saywords you're gonna regret
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain′t gonna take anymore
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore to know that
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don′t cry, i ain′t changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don′t need to see anymore to know that
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore to know that
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind
In "Eye In The Sky," the singer warns someone not to try to apologize for their actions and not to try to shift blame. The singer has had enough of their games and won't put up with them anymore. They caution the person not to speak rashly out of anger, as they have heard this type of argument before and won't tolerate it anymore. The singer acknowledges that they have fallen for some of the lies in the past, but they won't be fooled again.
The chorus asserts the singer's confidence and control. They see everything and know what is going on without anyone else being aware. They "make the rules" and can easily outsmart "fools." The repetition of "I can read your mind" underscores the idea that the singer has the upper hand and knows exactly what's going on. The final verse suggests that the person will not be able to change the singer's mind and that they should move on and find someone else to deceive.

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky (1982) Lyrics: July 17, 2021
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try, turnin' tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore
Believing
Some of the lies
When all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind...
