Every Breath You Take Lyrics
(written by: Sting)
Send "Every Breath You Take" Ringtone to your Cell
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watchin' you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watchin' you
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep cryin', baby, baby, please
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watchin' you
Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you
I'll be watchin' you
(every breath you take, every move you make,
every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you
(every move you make, every vow you break,
every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you
(every breath you take, every move you make,
every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you
(every move you make, every vow you break,
every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watchin' you
(every single day, every word you say,
every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watchin' you

I WOULDN'T WANNA THINK OF IT AS A STALKER SONG, I LOVE THIS SONG. I WOULD THINK THAT IT IS A WOMEN HE LOVES THAT DOESN'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE :)

maybe it IS about a stalker, but i just want to imagine it's not...because i love it very much! :)
i want to hear something else in it, namely that he's singing about a woman he loves...and she's not in love with him anymore...if you love someone it's maybe even a good feeling to know someone cares for you, someone is "watching you", because he doesn't want you to be hurted...this is definitly a better interpretation of the text! =)
i can only speak for myself, but i don't want to think of a stalker when i listen to it...

It's been awhile since AerynViper posted but he/she seems to be hung up on "Every Night You Stay"... I guess it never occurred to good ol aeryn that the stalker is referring to every night the woman of his dreams stays with someone else... he'll be watching her... I won't get into any such elementary dialogue here... just wishing the best for young aeryn grasshopper... carry on my wayward son...

Dear Aryn-Viper
Every vow you break = The guy thinks there was someting between them when there wasn't.
Devotion to a person out of control = Stalking.
See, it does fit ALL the lyrics, so stop with your elitist ranting, pull your head out of your ass, realize there's two or more differnet ways of seeing this song and stop talking down to us you pretentious twat.

Sting himself has said (And often) this song is about a stalker. If you want to argue with the song writer, feel free, but I think you're fighting a losing battle. Stubbornly insisting it isn't won't change the truth.

This is one of Daddy's favourite songs, but one which he could not let me hear when I was little.
If I heard it, I would have nightmares for a week afterwards.................. scary.........!

"AerynViper", you really need to lay off on the meth. I've never seen anyone get so worked up over a fucking song.
"Oh, and get a dictionary for those 'big word'" <-- Oh, sweet irony -- how I adore thee.

One last time... THIS IS NOT A STALKER SONG.
'Every night you stay' implies she's willingly with him - and what woman is with her stalker? After all - if she's with him, he's NOT STALKING.
Second... 'Every vow you break' - that's MARRIAGE. If nothing else, it's DEVOTION in a RELATIONSHIP.
Those of you who read these lyrics and think it's a stalker song only read the four words of 'I'll be watching you' - and you need to get Hooked on Phonics. That, and a good guide to philosophy, an entry course in English composition, and a good piece of hickory 4x4 to the skull.
Fucking morons. Even if it WAS a stalker song, who gives a shit? Don't listen to it. Someone plays it for you, consider it advance warning and call the cops. If it's a former lover, then just know they miss you... unless you suspect them of going Peeping Tom on you. It's a GOOD song, and you idiots need to lay off the malt hops and bong resin. It's damaging to deep-thinking, a critical element in musical critique.
Oh, and get a dictionary for those 'big word' I used. Or a thesaurus - also known as a 'alternate words for ones you don't know' book. Twits.

Get a fuckin life 50 pence...
This song is class! It reminds me of when I split with my boyfriend. I still loved and he lived downstairs from me and I saw him all the time - I could even see his bedroom window from mine. It drove me insane, thank God I don't live there anymore!

No, it thinks purenirvana has it right. It's always thought of this song as being about someone who has died looking over someone they love. Now this is funny, because it actually came to look up the lyrics (rather then going through them itself) to see if this song was actually about someone being huret so badly by a person that they need to return that hurt, and will. Why? "Every smile you fake." "Every vow you break." We all know the song says "I'll be watching you." Duh. If you've EVER listened to this song, you know that. But it knows someone who has been hurt like this, and recently that person cam back. Again. So it came to look up the lyrics. But the parts right before the person talk about loving the person, so it's obviously not about someone they want to hurt. Just about... if you're doing bad things, I'll see that too, because I'll ALWAYS be with you. Unfortuantely... (that it was about that). But yes, it thinks it is about the singer supposed to have died recently. "I'll always be watching over you..." Yeah.

Kym - anytime. Glad to be of service. Check my (few) other messages on other songs.
Gypsy - you're an illiterate fool. It's not a stalker's song, and - if memory serves - Sting himself has said so. Gordo ain't someone to argue with, so get it straight, idiot.
Sorry to be negative, but I hate ignorance - especially when it's been proven wrong. Peace out - pass it on.

That was my take too, Aeryn. Not stalking, but the loss of a close loved one. Thanks for the more in-depth analysis than I did.

This is not a stalker song.
It was written when Sting was facing divorce with his then-wife. It is, if you listen to the lyrics CLOSELY, and ALL of them, a request for her to turn the energy she'd been putting into splitting them apart towards getting them closer together again - because he didn't want to lose her, or what they had together.
If you don't wanna believe that, then fine - I want you to explain to me why, in a STALKER song, there are the lyrics 'every night you stay'? He's still sleeping in the same bed with his WIFE, that's why! Not his wife you say? Then why the lyrics 'every VOW you break'? Vows are in MARRIAGE, NOT stalking.
In the end, he promises to give her all the attention she must have felt she wasn't getting by telling her he'll be watching her over and over - just can't express enough sorrow for wronging her, enough sadness about losing her, and enough desire to make it up to her for the rest of his life... even if it must be at a distance and she forgets about him. He'll keep watching her because he still loves her.
Now, is that stalking or a Greek tragic-romance story? You be the judge. Then know I'm right.
