Lyrics Every Breath You Take

Every Breath You Take is a song by The Police, written by Sting. It was inspired by Stings separation from his first wife, Frances Tomelty. Although often regarded as a love song, the lyrics were actually meant to represent the oppressive and possessive nature of a romantic relationship, with an obsessive narrator.

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see, you belong to me
How my poor heart aches, with every step you take
And every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I've 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 crying baby, baby, please


Oh can't you see, you belong to me
How my poor heart aches, with every step you take
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
